Someone with a little knowledge of R/similar could visualize the decay of cpunks much better than this, but here are some people who wrote code/built things/were real cypherpunks, versus fucking Mr. "Autism and Racial Strength" (first post 7/3/2014) over here with this thread and Juan "You're just an agent of the American Fascists" Garofalo (first post 9/09/2013) with the follow-through: * Cathal Garvey (last post 10/16/2015) * Eugen Leitl (last post 10/26/2015) * Peter Gutmann (seems to only troll now, but still posts) * James A. Donald (last post 01/24/2016) * John Young still posts, but substantially less And now we're left with the above two concern trolls and company who never even sent email to al-qaeda.net. It's an abject falsehood that raising the noise to totally drown out any signal and alienating the entire rest of the list is somehow not harmful to the list. Nobody who A.) has no concrete contribution to the community and/or B.) never posted to al-qaeda.net has any business posting more than, say, John Young. This isn't censorship, this is the continuity of the community. Just because you CAN spam cpunks with autism and racial strength doesn't mean it's necessarily cypherpunk to do so. Maybe submit to /r/DarkFuturology, guys? You'd probably get more engagement. On Sun, 2016-04-17 at 16:20 -0300, juan wrote:

I generally ignore this list because of the nonsensical mess a few of you have made of it, which has driven off so many others as well.
It would be interesting to learn how many crypto-anarchists were driven off. On the other hand it's quite clear that some of the people who left were outright hostile to the fundamental and most basic tenet of cypherpunks : political anarchy.
Also, the fact that some people sometimes post off topic stuff doesn't prevent other people from posting on topic stuff does it?
Back to ignore mode.

Why do you persist in posting this OT bullshit on a cypherpunks
listserv? Go find a subreddit to pollute with your shitposts.
That's your own IMHO. You forgot to mention that. You've got thousands of people on this list. Not only you/a few more people who keep whining about "shitposts/ offtopic".
By the way, i never read any of your own "great/ONtopic" posts (not talking about comments).
