Why did you remove the “How do I start mining monero?” post?

Because the OP may have been a child? Or simply because it should have been asked in Monero Mining rather than in Monero? Or perhaps because the question was trivial (too basic)?

While I do feel (a few more) rules are necessary here, I’d like them to be explicit and transparent, if possible. Thank you.

    A good point. I think most people assume cryptocurrencies = bad/scam, and they’re mostly right too. In this specific case, the OP didn’t say anything explicitly; he was looking for a way to mine xmr without age verification (so it was an easy guess that perhaps he’s a kid, but the situation was ambiguous).

    I’d like to believe he’s so smart that as soon as he got all the info he needs he deleted everything (a nice move). But it’s possible that he felt unwelcome and upset, as a troll called him “freeloader” (re: mining w/ gratis electricity). Whatever. Freedom to delete your own post is important, and I’m happy to know that at least it’s not an admin who deleted it.

      There’s a lot of really negative opinions expressed on Lemmy. It’s not exactly the most welcoming community. 90% welcoming 10% fuck you. So if you’re not ready for it it’s a little rough

        Ah! Now I know the background—from where the OP came and why. Kudos.
