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

Looking for a way to directly sent files over the internet, P2P
Retro Share https://retroshare.cc/ free and open source.

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

Non-profit Matrix.org Foundation seems to be moving funds to for-profit Element
Why not Matrix? Here's one reason: it has incredibly hard-to-debug edge cases, and plenty of bugs. One of my favourites is the one where people are kicked out of your room at random, which was reported a year ago[0]. It wasn't fixed, however, because the head of the Matrix foundation (Matthew) presumably didn't like the issue being posted on Twitter.
This is honestly really disappointing behaviour from a platform owner.

Private messenger
The permanence is a difficult issue, there are some description here and here, and some proposed solutions here and here , but the main point is that in a federated system you can not be sure about that the others will work in a good faith. If you have shared or sent something to someone outside the infrastructure you control, you can not reverse that. Like if you have sent an email from protonmail to a gmail address, you can not force google to delete that.

Twitter's source code has been leaked on GitHub
Discord? There are many options, but Mattermost is probably the most Discord like. You might choose Matrix instead if you want something federated like the other platforms I've linked here.
-
Discord will possibly record your video calls, voice calls and channels including screen shares.
Meh.
