Urbit is digital feudalism masquerading as a privacy solution. The original founder is a neoreactionary authoriarian, and the system is designed with his ideal vision of the future in mind.
- olah_1 4y ago> masquerading as a privacy solution Urbit has almost zero privacy features and it never claimed to have any. > The original founder is a neoreactionary authoriarian, and the system is designed with his ideal vision of the future in mind. Every P2P network that I have seen has a hierarchical topology. At the very least there are clients and relay servers (2 tiers). If you can make a completely 1-tier, anarchy p2p topology, you should go for it and show that Urbit is way off-base here.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoThe real feudalism that exists is on large platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and the like. It is there that people work YouTube’s land in exchange for advertising crumbs. It’s on Facebook where you trade away your privacy for the ability to talk with your own friends and have all of your work pulled down at any moment. It’s on Twitter where you are hustle to build up twitter’s value and get tossed out for saying the wrong things without any rights.
