Boomers also have problems with getting their browsers to work; so... at one point they need to lift themselves up by their bootstraps (HA! how do you like that now, boomers?) and put some time to learn a bit about how to use a Monero wallet (like Cake and Monerujo---which, is, as easy to use as it gets.)

I use pocket change feature of monerujo wallet.
Why not integrate Monero in the fediverse? That seems more useful.
Yes. Especially when we already have a project working on it: https://monerochan.news/article/11#heading

It makes it a few mouse clicks to setup your own xmrig + p2pool install on your computers.
My IP address is visible to whom? And visible as doing what?
Afaik, with p2pool, one also runs a local p2pool blockchain. And his miner connects to his own p2pool node.
I guess the other p2pool nodes can see you IP (assuming not hidden behind vpn) and I guess your ISP can see you are making connectioms to p2pool-specific ports on the network. But that much alone is hardly incriminating (yet).
Monero mining is "buying Monero" in the most permissionless and private way possible. Individuals can opt in to creating Monero using their home's electrical grid, and the government mafia would be none the wiser.
Monero's mining network is the most decentralized and permissionless fiat-to-xmr exchange for Monero buyers.
Have you heard about Trocador? http://trocadorfyhlu27aefre5u7zri66gudtzdyelymftvr4yjwcxhfaqsid.onion/en/
I haven't used it for XMR-USDT but for BTC-XMR pairs. It seems like it has the pair you want, though.
It also has a Tor Hidden Service, which you can use completely anonymously.
Bitmaxis know that Monero is a legitimate contender to what btc wishes it would be. Monero is a threat not only to their "bags", but also to their identities, their convictions, and their emotional investments. That fuels their resentment, and finds outward expression as the smear campaigns and belittlement from them.
But not to worry; you know how it goes: first they ignore you, then fight you...
...or odysee, rumble, etc.
