But, in the light of Bitcoin and what it represents, neither of these platforms promote the same ideologies.
What do
you think Bitcoin represents? It is impossible to understand your argument if you don't clarify this.
I have thought of leaving the forum because of the numerous garbage and troll posts that appeared in the last couple of years, but not because of ideological reasons.
Consensus, decentralization and innovation. All of which rely on discussion and debate in an open unbias environment to produce effective results and work in a positive direction.
I have been a miner since 2011 and I find the Mining and Technical discussion sections very informative. This is why I continue to visit this forum. You can't find the wealth of information that you can find here elsewhere.
As for the Bitcoin Discussion section, to be honest, I consider it to be mostly chit-chat and not to be taken seriously anymore these days. For technical reasons, I am against BIP101, so maybe I am don't feel the alleged censorship as others who are for this BIP might.
Cool to note. I can definitely see where you are coming from on those topics, not my forte, but seems like the right place to be learning.
