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

How does SonoBus compares to Signal with regards to encryption, quality and latency?

Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.

Help people in Iran reconnect to Signal
Or Briar, Session, Tox, Element/Matrix, Jami...

need the name of the apps except that element
Also I prefer Session over matrix: https://getsession.org/

#IranProtests: Signal is blocked in Iran. You can help people in Iran reconnect to Signal by hosting a proxy server.
Any info on how well the Session messenger would work in Iran?
-
Help people in Iran reconnect to Signal – a request to our community
I suggest they use Session Private Messenger instead. To judge by the activity in the public "Session" group in the client today, Iranians are not having any trouble with connectivity. That might be because Session uses a decentralized network.
