How can we get the party started for a Monero social media site to bond a couple of anonymous bros?

Well maybe Big Tech bashing, but with an educational twist.

This site LifeHacker has half-hearted criticism of Google, but the site itself uses Google analytics and the author uses Gmail. Other than the obvious, we turn it into an educational opportunity to have members of the community tell him all the choices there are to DeGoogle your life.

Who knows? It would be pretty cool if we got a response from the author, and it mentioned Monero.

I think it's because finance in general is more a guy's conversation area. Put two arbitrary guys from anywhere in the world together and they'll talk about one of the following: sports/gaming, business/finance, technology, politics and family. XMR covers at least three of these. Women tend to have more social interests so finance (other than budgeting, where women dominate, even it hyper-traditional families) is a much smaller percentage of most women's conversation. It's not to say that privacy isn't important to women, but if you want a privacy podcast for women, it has to be more social. If you want a pro-privacy podcast for women, get the following women to start a group podcast: Naomi Brockwell (privacy), Janice McAfee (privacy money activist), Vanessa Harris (practical altcoins with strong support for privacy in crypto), and some women in the "Women Leading Privacy" organisations around the world. If you want such a podcast, reach out directly to these women, encourage others to do so, and pledge to support the podcast, either by spreading the world, or helping organise it, or day to day, or even through a donation (in XMR of course).
