Show HN: Non.io, a Reddit-like platform Ive been working on for the last 4 years
Reminds me of retroshare, which is fully peer to peer and anonymizing. Anyone here try it before? Meant for closed communities and not open/global so a different niche I suppose

zeronet-conservancy v0.7.9 and status update
our views on the project are incompatible. i consider it harmful to the community to: - advertise fork as official continuation (the worst parts of this were eventually removed, but the project's website still completely mimics official and there's no indication it's a fork anywhere - ship binaries presumably made out of builds made by disappeared nofish - copypaste changes without attribution

Reddit's days are numbered (link inside). Where will we go instead?
Sure! Here are the domain links to the decentralized alternatives I mentioned: 1 Steemit: https://steemit.com/ 2 Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/ 3 Scuttlebutt: https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/ 4 ZeroNet: https://zeronet.io/ 5 Aether: https://getaether.net/ Please note that these links are current as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, and there's a possibility that the domains or availability may have changed since then.

another hostile fork violating free software license from an infamous troll
so this anonymous person who've been trolling on github issues and editing wikipedia to mislead people there's no up-to-date forks has now published their fork that violates GPL and authors' right to attribution by deleting git history and replacing all contributors (including founder @nofish) with one "(c) ZeroNet" notice (which is meaningless in its own right 'cause there was never legal entity that owned the code by multiple contributors)

Professor of law, Bruce Pardy on Trudeau's upcoming internet censorship in 2023.
Nothing can be censored here. Nothing. https://zeronet.io. read that again. Nothing can be censored because it is 100% decentralized, that is the opposite of centralized power.

I will trust Elon once he condemns Klaus Schwab/WEF on Twitter, condemns CBDC slavery, apologizes for pushing carbon taxes/mRNA vaccines, apologizes for calling for a one world government at the 2021 WEF meeting, stops worshiping lucifer, stops being DoD number one contractor, condemns transhumanism
If Elon really valued free speech, he would have invested his billions into developing https://zeronet.io/ to make it popular and very user friendly. 😉
