@Dio9sys I've seen many such weird "projects" that oftentimes ain't even #FLOSS and all they do at best is being a shittier version of @torproject / #Tor with a less-mature & battle-hardened tech stack.
- Wrapping in #Shitcoins makes it even worse!
Like I can get if they actually cared about #decentralization they'd use proven tech like #IPFS & #BitTorrent for hosting & file transfer but there are very few people I'd trust to be skilled enough to "roll their own network stack" cuz that's just barely below "roll your own #crypto" and almost noone should do that!

Thanks to all survey participants!
I never really got on with #Twitter / #X. And while I know it's controversial to say in some corners here, there’s quite a bit I admire about #ElonMusk.
That said, I still prefer the grounded, algorithm-free vibe of #Mastodon and the broader #Fediverse.
