ZeroNet VS stealth

ZernoNet project: GitHub - HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet: ZeroNet - Decentralized websites using Bitcoin crypto and BitTorrent network

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

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.

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)

https://zeronet.io/ (https://zeronet.io/) is 100% censorship proof. How come? Cause it is not centralized, It is 100% decentralized

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.

Things like that can't happen on decentralized social media like https://zeronet.io/

P.S - There's more networks than just Tor, if you're still interested perhaps you should check them out: https://geti2p.net/en/ https://freenetproject.org/ https://zeronet.io/ https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://lokinet.org/ r/i2p r/freenet r/zeronet r/yggdrasil r/oxen_io

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. 😉

Damn, this is such a good metaphore, I had to think a lot about it.

For my browser [1] I wanted to introduce a fact gathering and linking system, and build it in a way that bias of authors (and publishers) can be guessed when they release a new article.

Rationalism will never be anything that can exist, because it is the opposite of human nature (or, the founding idea of our society).

The underlying issue is that emotions cause a lot of people to get irrational due to them not being able to differ a potentially dangerous situation with a potentially (equally) good solution.

I think that most (if not all) of fake news websites were shared because of only a couple of reasons:

1) Humans like to get reinforced in their own perception more than they like to get disagreed with.

2) Articles in these type of publishing mediums appeal to emotions rather than to facts, hence the reason for why they use pictures, videos and other recordings as "evidence" even they had totally nothing to do with it.

3) Humans are lazy. This is by far the most important point. If it is easy to comply with an emotional statement, and hard to gather evidence to disprove it; the emotional statement will always win.

4) Humans confuse disagreement with punishment. As a kid you get taught that there are negative effects when you disagree with society, or your mum/dad or other authoritarian figures. Rather than to punish kids when they are wrong we should encourage the gathering of evidence, and let them form an argument for both sides.

5) Humans are beings that forget. That is why media for the masses reuses pictures of a situation that happened years ago as "proof" for something clickbaity.

But yeah, these are just my two cents. Due to my browser I thought a lot about this and came to the conclusion that irrational hate speech is worse an enemy than someone might think on first sight.
