whitepaper VS sydent

P2P by definition cannot be banned. For example no one can "ban" a user from download or uploading a file with bittorrent. We've been working on a fully P2P reddit alternative for 2 years, if you're interested in the design we have a whitepaper https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

I've been working on a fully P2P reddit alternative that doesn't have "instances" that can block each other. Demo: https://plebbit-test.netlify.app Whitepaper: https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

Plebbit seems to be a crypto 4chan idea of Reddit. From the FAQ

Can't recommend Aether based on this discussion thread. Way too many hard sells listed for an unmaintained alternative. The latest forum thread even tells people to use a different platform, Plebbit (demo) (whitepaper), altogether.

the protocol is a light protocol over IPFS/IPNS/Libp2p Gossipsub

Unrelated but we've been working on a P2P reddit alternative for more than a year, here's the whitepaper https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/discussions/2

GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

[0] https://matrix.org

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.
