I can't tell its I can't find anything worth visiting on i2p or there is just nothing there
Compared to the open internet and the slightly dark parts of the internet, there is nothing of great interest, except the fact that no one can easily hunt down what you did while you were there.
The real problem is, by the time you actually want to be there because there is no anonymous access to the real net, they'll ferret out people running i2p at all and block them from doing so.
The problem I have it that it doesnt seem lile there can ever be anything. Its so slow dynamic content would be horrible and all the users are anonymous so keeping bad actors out would be extremely tired some.
Chat rooms exist, Torrents exist, mail exists. There is no keeping bad actors out, kinda of the point of it, no-mans-land that's there for when the regular internet is no longer safe. You group up, trust the trusted. it's not a replacement from the corporate hellscape, it's a free place to retreat to.
But if you run one of these places you need to ban over and over and over again to maintain a decent community
nothing unlike here
Correct. Its terrifying to confirm my fears with others. Protocol blocking, ddos attacks on the networks, etc..
I'm mostly worried that at some point they'll fire up a client, note the nodes it's connecting to, send police to their locations, nested wash rince repeat.
I was actually kinda stoked at AI because we could have it locally write semi-plausible fiction with digital payloads embedded. And all of a sudden our social media is based on a database hidden in bad vampire fan-fiction.
Wait until it's one of the only private places to go.
Already is more or less, it's becoming incredibly difficult to stay anonymous. Cloudflare is utilized by %20 of the internet. They no doubt have databases full of device identifiers and associated ip addresses. And thats ignoring the rest of the neo axis of tech companies with their own data pilfering setups and various law enforcement agencies. Can't do shit without verification these days. Can't even spin up your own servers without a cc. I mean technically bitcoin and xmr exist but between KYC laws and ddos attacks against the xmr network.. Lol. Don't let the bastards grind us down, but they sure as hell wish to succeed.
There's a few places.. Torrent tracker. Could use a lot of improvement though, yes. It's always been that way unfortunately. TOR is larger but that makes sense due to gov origination and its associated money.
I had the same problem, then I decided to do something about it
