#DeltaChat ... https://delta.chat

#Bitmessage ... https://bitmessage.org

"Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs."

#TorBrowser ... https://www.torproject.org/download

"Protect yourself against tracking, surveillance, and censorship."

#I2P ... https://geti2p.net

"The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. Every day people use the network to connect with people without worry of being tracked or their data being collected. In some cases people rely on the network when they need to be discrete or are doing sensitive work."

#Hyphanet ... https://www.hyphanet.org/

"Hyphanet is peer-to-peer network for censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting publishing and communication. The original Freenet."

#BitChan ... https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan

"BitChan is a decentralized anonymous imageboard inspired by BitBoard and built on top of Bitmessage with Tor, I2P, and GnuPG."

#DarkMX ... https://darkmx.app

"DarkMX is a new decentralized communication app that utilizes Tor hidden services to allow you to easily have an anonymous, reliable, and censorship-resistant presence on the internet. You can chat. You can share files. You can search other people's files. You can keep a contact list and send private messages to your friends. You can create your own custom .onion site, available to anyone with a Tor Browser."

#Bitmessage is one of those projects that is pretty annoying with the whole "let's continue development for literal years (7) but document the features nowhere and make no releases".

At this point I simply have no idea what is in the thing and it just feels all kinds of sus, so I haven't touched it.

As far as communication goes, I really liked #bitmessage which failed, in my opinion, because it was implemented as a GUI application rather than a library. And then there was #tox which failed because it was #gpl licensed rather than #lgpl. And that's where #deltachat comes in with the almost instant, hassle-free, on-boarding and true #e2ee. Understanding we have no access to whatsapp, customers are quick to install #deltachat and avoid all the drama.

Las semi-contradicciones son parte de la vida

Es verdad que en mi vida utopica esta rodeada de #amistades reales y que en lo referente a la sociedad y vida digital todo deberia ser una copia feliz del #P2P, pero la vida es lo que da

Si, hasta ahora no he descubierto NADA que sea mas resilente que los modelos P2P, cuando estos son masivos

Recordemos solo el tiempo en que #bittorrent llego a ser el canal de distribucion mas popular de todos... NADIE pudo con el... hasta que se inventaron el netflix de 2 pavos y terminaron con el exito del sharing libre

Por ahi existio #bitmessage, #twister y todavia hoy #retroshare esta dando combate

La unica variable que hace invencible al P2P es la masividad... y con la perdida de ella, llega el declive y la muerte

Y si lo llevamos un paso mas alla, y le añadimos almacenamiento distribuido, conseguiriamos un #internet resilente sin parangon al #capitalismo, la UTOPIA sin precedentes, ciudadana pura, sin aditivos toxicos
