I’ve never thought about this, but now that you bring it to my attention I think I’d go with a combination of mineral-flower, so for example “tourmaline-calendula”.
Also to automate that, I saw that there is this neat website perchance.org that you can use to construct random word generators, I’m wondering if there’s an open source alternative though, that would be great

Because it’s true ( •̀ ᵕ •́ )

I’m sold, time for an RFC?

That sounds interesting, although I could see people creating their own instance to send awards that look the same for free, maybe they should be limited to being displayed on the same instance they were awarded from?

Haha, that’s painfully true

Ok I can agree with that, I also don’t like Bitcoin specifically, but there are other cryptocurrencies which actually have a use and, at the cost of energy of course, empower the users (for privacy, currency transfers, etc.), from what I know only Monero is really worth their salt in that regard as it also uses a proof of work algorithm (RandomX) that is purpose built to be unprofitable to run on power hungry ASICs

You’re right, I misunderstood how it worked, corrected now

Not really, the endgame is the same, the greedy corporations will exploit the planet’s resources until they’re dry and then they’ll wipe their tears with the money they made in the process, the core issue is really putting sustainability in front of everything else, because not doing so is what deals the real damage

Maybe you’d use some other crypto, but that aside, while cool in theory, the whole Lemmy would probably have to be reworked from the ground up to rely on the blockchain you’re thinking of like Nostr (sorry, I don’t know what gave me the impression that it was a blockchain). It should be possible to add the function in the current architecture instead, a bit like Misskey and others add extras such as reactions

You should be blaming the energy source

Ohh so that’s what it is, from the name I thought it would be a meme sub about Stack Exchange
