Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Not sure why your down voted. I have used them before to transfer money and works fine. It's exactly why it exists. I wouldn't store money there, but for transfers and transfer out, they work perfectly fine.

It's because supposed stablecoins often also end up being scams.

Yeah, i get that. But the 2 mentioned are fine and not going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens. I wouldn't use some sketchy ones either.

Lol Tether a company that claims to have $100 billion in reserve to back its currency but has never had an audit. Nothing sketchy about that at all.

It's been around for 9 years now. I use it sometimes for transfers, and that's it. It's not an investment I'm looking to throw money into and hope it doesn't go belly up. If you really look, I'm sure you're right. Probably all of them do some level of unethical to illegal activity. I am just commenting on the fact that to use the stable coins for transfers it's going to be pretty safe and I am not worried about it, unlike the pump and dump coins that pop up.
