I like the idea of the site, but yeah, the entire vibe around it throws me off - 4chan vocabulary (peasant/chad), call for donations in an obscure cryptocurrency, fully anonymous.
Maybe I'm doing the site injustice, but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro.
- user_named 3y agoIt's funny
- raspyberr 3y agoBut what about the technical content? Why are you so quick to jump to identities. And donations are the best way to give money - nothing is locked away and you get to choose. This style of site/information should be celebrated.

- raspyberr 3y agoI appreciate the irony.
- xg15 3y agoI was mostly thrown off by the word "landchad", because "chad" does have a lot of bad connotations - at best it's childish, at worst it's associated with incels. The technical content looks great and yeah, I can applaud the person's cause. It's just that I don't think the challenges of running your own server were ever just technical - if people have a motivation to do something, they'll learn much more complex stuff. The thing is that there isn't a lot of motivation for ordinary people to setup (and maintain!) their own server if some cloud megacorp archieves the same. So I think, you also have to explain why you should want to run your own server as a non-nerd - and I think starting with 4chan might archive the opposite here.
- Kretinsky 3y agoI think you're overthinking what's just some internet humor. I find the site quite personal and humane, and much more likeable than any PC-corporate SaaS blog.
- raspyberr 3y agoYeah this part of the site: > Most of the internet’s problems could be solved if more people had their own personal platforms Could really be expanded upon. A small, not overwhelming "Why" section would probably improve it. I think this does raise an issue. If you wanted to suggest a change to this site it's not straightforward how to do it. It's clearly a community style resource because the different services sections seem to be written by other people.
- mezobeli 3y agoIts great resource and XMR (Monero) as well
- _l219 3y agoI dislike the vocabulary as well but XMR is by no means obscure. It’s the most widely accepted fully anonymous crypto currency used on most darkweb markets
- keiferski 3y ago"Chad" is a common word in Internet culture in general. Monero is also not "obscure" and the entire purpose is that it's anonymous. The site's aesthetic wouldn't be my first choice, but I applaud the fact that's goofy and playful and not yet another boring, flat design that appeals to the lowest common denominator by not offending anyone.
- 013 3y agoBTC and XMR are obscure? I'm not sure that's true.
- bobsmooth 3y ago>but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro If the information provided is accurate and useful, so what?
- dmix 3y agoIn 2023 everything must be viewed through an identity lense first, whether it’s quality/correct second. Or at least that’s what we’re being told to do by our moral betters.

- Frummy 3y agoIts not fully anonymous, its by the youtuber luke smith. He has a video on it as well as links from his personal site. So whats wrong with that anyway? Nevermind the 4chanophobia, but its telling that that is the crowd in most pursuit of freedom.
- greyface- 3y ago> 4chanophobia You say this as if being a 4chan user were some inherent, immutable trait, rather than a choice that reflects personal attitudes and values.
