They help facilitate this, bring nothing better than other browsers to the table, so what is your particular obsession with Brave? Every single piece of tech is not worth talking about, and moderation is needed to trim the fat. Find some Brave community to shower the love. Discussions about Brave are not intellectually stimulating or bring anything fruitful to the table.
Also, the community generally seems to be okay with trimming away Brave in tech space. YouTubers and cryptobros shill it. Lowers quality of community posts and is a waste of time. Your argument will even allow for Raid Shadow of Legends to be discussed as "technology".
My issue is that Brave Browser is the only non-cryptocurrency subject you explicitly disallow. Remember, the browser, not the coin. There's nothing about 4chan or Raid Shadow Legends in your list of prohibited topics. Your bias is clearly on display here.
To reiterate my question you dodged, how will you decide what is "good" and "bad" technology? As a community moderator, you should be impartial.
Impartiality against obnoxious trolling, crypto shilling and hating on "Mozilla politics" to hide their homophobia is not possible. Brave browser is the only major web browser to bundle a crypto coin and scheme with it, and it brings with itself all of the forementioned garbage which has no place in a moderated/civil community. You are basically saying to tolerate the intolerant and consider the inconsiderate. Go read Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance short comic.
Your bias is apparent here, when you say you can separate Brave browser from Brave coin. I already shared among the links how that has been false since years, yet you insist forcibly a wrong thing. Moderation is a biased thing, and this is not a freezepeach zone. 4chan /g/ might be more up your alley, but they also hate Brave, as do most privacy or tech communities.
You still failed to answer my question.
I did, you failed to read. And I will now fail to entertain your Brave love affair requests any further, with silence.
Just drop Brave already and answer the question.
How will you determine what is "good" or "bad" technology?
