Members of the BSV community are encouraged to sign this new petition to regain control of the r/bsv subreddit to make it a more inclusive space and one where people can learn about the blockchain and its uses.
The petition, aimed at Reddit’s administrators, notes that the subreddit has become a place filled with hate, bullying, and a broadly toxic environment.
Some of the specific concerns which have been raised include:
- Toxic comments, hate speech, and bullying;
- The subreddit is no longer a safe space to learn about and foster the BSV community;
- Inadequate moderation has ensured that anyone that wishes to seek information on Reddit concerning BSV will not find any help there.
These and other issues have pushed some 17,000 members interested in the topic to a completely unrelated subreddit r/bitcoincashsv. There is no such thing as ‘Bitcoin Cash SV’ – making this community very difficult to find.
It is hoped that the new petition will allow genuine members of the BSV community to regain control of the subreddit and once again foster an inclusive and educational space. Users who have been a target of harassment, censorship, or bullying on the subreddit are encouraged to sign here.
Join the BSV Discord for free discussion
In April 2022, Bitcoin Association launched the official BSV blockchain Discord channel.
The BSV blockchain Discord channel is an open community for both established members of the BSV ecosystem and newcomers, allowing users to engage, learn and participate in a discussion around various aspects of the original Bitcoin protocol and the BSV blockchain, which is the only public blockchain that scales unbounded and can deliver a new Internet of value built on a scalable architecture with native payment and data processing.
Traders, developers and entrepreneurs are all welcome on the BSV blockchain Discord channel, with conversations revolving around consumer-facing applications, network engineering, economics, token prices and more.
The channel supports nine different languages and has multiple sub-channels, including discussions around development, investment, applications, business cases, trading, mining, and blockchain-based games.
The BSV blockchain Discord channel also includes a job board for job postings and an event channel for sharing everything from community meetups to official events by Bitcoin Association and other organisations within the BSV ecosystem. It will offer a wealth of resources to newcomers, developers and entrepreneurs, allowing them to quickly learn about the BSV blockchain and its unique scaling and data functionality.
