Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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

The Ultimate Guide to Peer-to-Peer Video Conferencing
Retroshare also offers encrypted connections that meeting hosts and participants can create a network of computers on and layer distributed services on top of it, like discussion forums, text-based chat, and email. This P2P platform is free, open-source, and fully decentralized, designed to provide maximum security and anonymity. It's available to Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows users.

Utopia P2P - What do you think?
Utopia has similarities to RetroShare, but RetroShare has more capability: portable, forums, channels, boards, Tor/I2P.

Anti-consumerism software
For messaging, retroshare is really good, it looks like an old forum messenger, but is free to download. its completely ad free.

Nextcloud listened to Linus "Unraid Friends" idea (maybe) and implemented P2P backup in Nextcloud Hub II !
u/nextale shared a couple options: Tahoe-LAFS , Duplicati an Retroshare
-
About Linus' WAN show notes about backups and losing data: I think there does exists something that he describes that fits the bill
There is also Retroshare which is a "friend-only network" so you only connect to nodes of people you implicitly trust e.g. your friends (instead of everyone in the world like with e.g. Bittorrent). It is also encypted in-transit but I am not sure if it is encrypted on-rest.

I have an anonymous online friend. How can we ensure that even if we lose access to our current chat platform we will be able to find each other, while still maintaining our anonymity?
RetroShare, for desktop (though only add people you trust)

Why don't we have a privacy-compliant peer-to-peer communication platform yet? (something like the bittorrent of messaging and chat and blogs etc)
Actively mainained: Tox, Briar, Jami, Retroshare

Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix
Sounds like you’re talking about Element Web or Desktop here. On Mobile, we just rewrote the app as Element X and it addresses almost all your concerns (other than per-room nicks, although ironically Element Web does have that today - try the /roomnick command, from memory).
Having got Element X out the door, my attention at least is going to swing back to Element Web. In terms of encryption disasters, we are about to switch Element Web’s crypto to the same rust implementation as Element X, hopefully next week - you can track the progress at https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/21972#issuec.... Hopefully this will make a much-needed massive improvement on encryption, while also speeding it up 5x or so. On Element X, encryption failures are almost unheard of (other than when talking to Element Web).
The main remaining Nebuchadnezzar issue is mitigating server-controlled group membership. The first step has been to kill off the 1st gen E2EE implementations, which were responsible for the implementation vulns found by RHUL - and we should hopefully conclude that next week by moving everything into the matrix-rust-sdk crypto create implmentation: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/21972#issuec... is the tracker.
Then, we can address the harder server-controlled group membership issue in one place. First step will be to improve device verification & trust so that trust is the default, not the exception, to make it easier to spot and warn about unexpected devices in the room. The full solution is then either MSC3917 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/fay...) - or potentially to switch everything to MLS.
We're working on MLS anyway in parallel to RHUL mitigation work; you can see the progress at https://arewemlsyet.com, and it's looking good.
I'm guessing you're not interested in doing a podcast on "yay we converged our crypto implementations on a single robust Rust implementation so we can fix the remaining bugs in one place", but as soon as the server-controlled group membership thing is solved we'll be in touch. Work has also gone much slower than hoped on this, thanks to the joys of funding open source.

GNUnet - GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and privacy-preserving distributed applications. Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the creation of a GNU internet. https://git.gnunet.org/
