  • @HardenedSteel yeah… basically proton is a honeypot:

    >cannot use their tor hidden service for anonymous account creation

    >cannot use the btc payment option during anonymous account creation

    >no XMR payment option at all

    I think Monero community can do better. Just create a version of cockli service that forces people to pay a buck a month in XMR. Promise to keep their emails encrypted in the server SSDs, or allow them to use POP to pull their emails to their local devices. etc. etc.

    Someone can be the new lavabit…


  • @HardenedSteel this is a niche still awaiting for its entrepreneur.

    Proton accepts btc (sigh (put +1 to the column that argues for them being a honeypot)). You might use trocador to exchange from btc to xmr and make your payment.

    But, again, some sort of email service that takes XMR in exchange of service would be good. The operators of the email service can even use the XMR payment as a sort of counter-spam measure against bot accounts, and spam senders. The service can also use “Mullvad-style” random digits per the customer in order to track their XMR payments for the service, and demand no personally identifiable information, at all.

    >as far as dendrite goes, we’re talking about using Tor & a degoogled phone without google push notifications.

    I have been doing that for years now, kiddo. CalyxOS user of 2 years, here—before that I have used GrapheneOS. Both without microG or any other google play compatibility layers.

    I use Element Android with Orbot proxy. It is pretty usable. I get notifications, a-Okay. Nothing to fearmonger about there.

    If xmpp is really better than matrix, then you shouldn’t be needing these “half-truth” videos to spread its use.

    Anyways. Do what you gotta do.


  • Quite one-sided video. Many things you list as negatives in the Matrix’s column are simply “not the whole truth”. For example: “matrix requires captcha”, “matrix requires email”—these are not true for all the existing homeservers. You may find a homeserver that’s open for registration that doesn’t force you to train google’s machine vision AI nor give up an email.

    Another “not the whole truth” is that “dendrite freezes and doesn’t let you join big rooms”. I have been using my own dendrite homeserver for the last 2 years, and while it may be true that I had some “freezes” when I tried to join some software support communities, in the end (after a few minutes) I always managed to join in, and never got locked out of the discussion.

    Apart from all of that, xmpp’s multi-device e2ee is also a mess. You make it sound like it is a piece of cake—it ain’t.







  • @Saki I like I2P. I use it for my torrenting activities, it is great—no need for VPNs for torrenting anymore.

    However, Tor has its own advantages, being more reachable by a greater number of people who might not be as tech savvy as us, is one of them. Like it or not, Tor’s abundant exit nodes is one other advantage that it has over I2P. In the case of something like mitra.social microblogging service, if one hosts a onion-only instance of it, Tor allows him to federate with clearnet peers over the exit nodes, and thus allow the onion-only instances of mitra/pleroma to be also in connect with the greater fediverse.

    >the Tor network relies on a relatively small number of “centralized” node operators.

    Any sources that makes you say that?
