trump’s going to kill a bunch of people for this, probably ones you know, maybe you, consider toning down the epic poasting

    If we actually wanna be serious about it, we should move the site off of the clearnet

    I2P maybe

    Even if you access this site over Tor, probably like half the exit nodes are run by feds to do traffic correlation

      Yeah, I’ve been thinking this for a long while now. Could we open a serious discussion?

      Edit: Not even cuz of trump but for opsec and resiliency as a whole.

          I dunno, moving to something peer to peer would be my suggestion. We may loose federation but what do we use that for anyway besides trolling libs?

            Whatever it is, we should do it over one of those anonymizing overlay networks

            Just putting the site on one of those is a start at least

            We may loose federation but what do we use that for anyway besides trolling libs?

            Well… yeah lol, idk, I used to be more positive on federation but usually all I see is the same Reddit sludge outside of Hexbear and Lemmygrad

            At least some people have come over. If we take this step we’re basically gonna be more isolated than ever

              Yeah I dunno. The new freenet seems promising for ease of use and integration with federation but idk how they do with privacy. Veilid seems to have the reverse problem. I’m sure there’s a solution but we should have a real discussion on what that is.

                Personally I’d want to go with something proven and widely in-use already like I2P or maybe Tor

                Especially cuz of the relative ease of moving over cuz we don’t have a lot of devs

                I don’t know much about the new Freenet tbh, I used to be into the old one though, cool as hell tech tbh but bad implementation

                  The new one is under development and looks interesting, but this really isn’t the place to get into it. If someone else doesn’t I’ll make a post in the next few days.
