As I said it's not that crypto is inside de protocol. Is that the parent company (which is just the same people) made a crypto to be used with the protocol. On top of it. Which takes trust away from me. If they want donations ask for donations. If they want to provide a paid service then do a paid service.

But having a crypto they want to move around feels dishonest to me. People will be pumping the crypto thinking they are making an investment, thinking they are going to earn money or participate in some sort of circular economy but they will loose it, all. And the owners will get all their fiat money as soon as they can. I have seen it happen countless times.

If they do that from the beginning, what will they be doing in the future if the project take off? I'd better not find out.

OK I understand your concerns better. Thank you for explaining.

I am less concerned and don't have such a negative relationship with crypto. As long as it's not the selling point of something and decoupled from the actual project or product, that's fine to me. That others don't feel the same way is understandable.

For me, radicle is the fastest way to get off of github. All my projects are now there and anybody can contribute without signing up to yet another website i.e they don't need to have a login for each individual forgejo or gitlab instance. One radicle identity is all you need to contribute to a radicle project on any seed node.

If (when?) forgejo finally gets federation, I'd be more open to using it, but at the moment, it barely provides an advantage over radicle.
