I created !fucknfts - since no one's making a community to piss/diss/shit on NFTs yet

# Fuck NFTs! NFTs. Fuck 'em expensive images. Rules: - Follow Fediverse Code of Conduct [https://mastodon.social/about] - When posting links of news articles, put the tile in Title section then diss/shit about them on the Body section - Do not post misinformation/disinformation - If you think an NFT...

Here's where you can piss/diss/shit on NFTs because they're too fucking "expensive"/ridiculous/cringe

Better things to do tbh
- Same, don't really see the point of filling my sub feed with something I dislike.
- Right? They can’t be worth anything by now in this economy anyways so who cares

Why would I want to join a sub for something I don’t like? I want positivity in my life, not hate

Are these things still a thing?
- You're hired!
- Maybe, for some people 🤷‍♀️

Less hate, more love.

"Piss, diss and shit" is one hell of a sales pitch.
No thank you though.

Saying “fuck nft’s!” is like saying “fuck UUID’s!”.
They’re literally an everyday part of software engineering on decentralized protocols. They got a bad rap with tech-illiterate people because of moonboi hype but they’ll ALWAYS be a part of decentralized software just like any other type of data created for specific uses.
- ^ The only person in this thread who actually knows what NFTs are
  
  So this is what I've never heard, is when have nfts actually been used? Like it's too inefficient/expensive to store large amounts of data, so what is it good for?
  
  There are dozens of us!
  
  I made NFTs by accident back before they were a thing lol
- Does "fuck auctioning off digital media (particularly procedurally-generated .jpg files)" make it more clear? Screw artificial scarcity? Ignore/de-value digital real-estate?
  
  I mean, of course procedurally-generated jpg files are worthless bullshit. I’m a serious crypto aficionado and I never once bought a single NFT because I knew they were just images that anyone could view.
  NFT’s, as you’re describing them here, were just a money-laundering scheme. But that’s not what NFT’s actually are. They’re a representation in a system that something is 100% unique (or part of a limited quantity). Since software engineering’s entire purpose is to model real-life in software, this concept was an absolute inevitability.
  The story: someone generated a bored ape then sold it to themself for a 1,000,000% profit in an attempt to launder the ETH that person gained through illicit means in the shitcoin trades. It’s a tale as old as currency itsself: Beanie babies, trading cards, collectible art, collectibles in general. People are degenerate gamblers but NFT’s are actually an innocent technology co-opted by moonbois. Same deal with crypto in general. Greedy people ruin the reputation of anything they touch (or trade rabidly in this case).
- All crypto starts as a horribly inefficient, slow, expensive technology that gets worse the more people touch it.
  
  NFTs are not the same as crypto. NFTs are a basic building block of decentralized network. You are assuming NFTs are only stupid pictures
- Think of an NFT not being the item itself, but a receipt
  Some people are gonna be so mad they paid a million bucks for a receipt.
- What this guy said. All the JPGs started as a proof of concept/example. That wasn't the end goal!

I thought those things had gone the way of fidget spinners and pet rocks.

I was kind of hoping hate filled communities wouldn't be a thing on Lemmy. Sadly, everything's the same everywhere you go.
Clarification: I think NFTs are really stupid. I would even say I hate them. But I don't need a community based around hating something. No one should.
This was simply the first example of a "hate" community I've seen on Lemmy, so I spoke up.
- You're gonna be offended on behalf of NFT's?

NFTs are just a pathetic and stupid attempt to preserve scarcity in a post-scarcity economy.
- This is too much ignorance to pick apart. Thanks for revealing yourself to save me time later, I guess
