A couple of networks that aim to improve Tor / I2P are Lokinet[1] and Yggdrasil[2]. And they each have their own messenger projects. Loki is running Session Messenger[3] and Yggdrasil is partnering with Matrix on their p2p project[4].

It should be noted that Mastodon is in process of adding e2e encryption. And Matrix chat has implemented the ability for server admins (at least on synapse server) to enable e2e encryption by default for all rooms. Even still, as long as ac

Decentralized Identifiers / accounts are being added to every federated spec that I know of. So I think everyone is aware of the issue there. Regarding spam and abuse, what deters that on Urbit? The cost of a planet? Planets are only a

ActivityPub isn’t great, but anything is going to look bad when compared to a utopian pipe dream. Im looking forward to a better comparison in Q4 or Q1 2021 when Urbit is more usable for regular people though. As of now, I don’t suspect tha

Awesome! And now that RiotX is out of beta, please divert those resources to Element iOS because it _desperately_ needs some UX love.

This comment is too vague and general for me to interact with. I have a notion that I disagree with what you’re getting at here, but I can’t be sure. I agree that the public is lied to. But that is usually through editorialization of headli

Well a large amount of censorship has to do with being attractive to advertisers. And there’s this strange viscous cycle of how the Overton Window[1] is formed and then rigidly enforced. It’s not clear to me what comes first, chicken or egg

Most people use Bitchute only for the channels that they're already subbed to on youtube. So you log in to Bitchute and just see your subs which are like 5 channels that got deleted from youtube. Subbing is the curation system.

So I discovered that Knowfox can be used on the main website by registering an account there. I did so. One thing that is noted is that everything is private by default. What does that actually mean? Even on the github, I couldn't find
