Reason people recommend monero is because crypto like bitcoin has a public ledger, so if you send your bitcoin to a usernet service then the usenet service and along with the exchange used to get the bitcoin will know what you spent the bitcoin on. So you end up having to use mixers to try and hide the transaction.
Monero is just easier where the wallet receiving the Monero should theoretically not know what address it came from because the ledger is private. So once you sent your monero into your own wallet the exchange and anyone you send the monero too would not know the address of your wallet or balance. At least in theory.
You are welcomed to visit !monero@monero.town if you'd like more help. I don't know much myself, but there's others there who do.

They are great in that area. Took a while make it available, but they wanted to run their own wallet and node instead of entrusting it to a third party before they started offering monero payment.

Secure Secure Messages I've seen for people who added in their Matrix contact, which does seem a smart route to go if someone wishes to be contacted over relying on lemmy.
The remote instance admins not having access to IPs is pretty amazing feature. Sort of like a proxy? Makes me glad I chose monero.town over all the random instances out there.
Upvotes, downvotes, comments are available to the general public. For IP logs is it only the admin of the instance account is created on that could view it? Or is it also the mods on the instance? Can every other admin or mod from another instance view the information? What about for saves and messages? By default admins of each instance can access everything from accounts that were created there, but unsure of the access available to everyone else. Would be fun to learn what federation with other instances and participating in them reveals to the admins/mods of those other instances.
Mullvad stopped doing port forwarding, so searching for alternatives.
I searched for a possible /r/monero alternative to see where monero people from reddit might have gone and then had come across this thread https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/13vxry6/addressing_a_misunderstanding_my_misguided/ >This comment has been removed in protest of the Reddit API changes of June 2023. Consider visiting https://monero.town for a privacy preserving alternative to Reddit.

Awesome l look forward to it. If there's one good thing to come from reddit events it has been finding about the fediverse.
Could links to like https://getmonero.org and other relevant urls be available like web wallet and mobile wallets on the side bar or sticky? Would be useful for newcomers too. I'd like to lessen my visits to reddit.
