Now that Twitter is going to implement LN tipping via Strike (KYCed), how might one add a convenient noncustodial LN tipping function to a Mastodon server?

I guess the simplest way is to just attach a BOLT12 offer QR code to every toot.

And then pretend I didn't see the guards waving me into secondary inspection as I cross back into CA.

A friend told me it's worked before. 👀

Well shit, now even when GPUs are available again, I might have to drive out of state to get one.

Big Tech and mainstream social media continues to merge with government.

If, hypothetically, there's a large-scale ISP crackdown on dissent and local freedom-loving but separated (some in Texas, some in Idaho, etc.) communities were to set up their own 4G/5G networks via open source software and hardware, what sorts of ways would they be able to bridge with each other across the tyrant areas?

It's just a tattooed QR code that the government can be charged a lot of money for. "Quantum" sounds expensive.

I don't think it's very useful to try to argue against the FUD that Bitcoin is "right wing." They won't be convinced. Just let them yell at Bitcoin. They may manage to get some anti-Bitcoin laws passed. Bitcoin won't care.
