If you want to feel like a true redditor, you can use this instance via https://reddit.digdeeper.rodeo/

It's not a separate thing, but rather a sort of overlay/skin for the main instance. It's less bloated than the official UI and works better on older browsers like Palemoon. Just log in with your existing credentials, and you can start using it as usual.

I2P network under persistent DDoS attack. in c/tech

i'm no expert but isn't it kind of weird no one foresaw during i2p development that it'd be so easy to ddos?

XMPP is a failure in terms of freedom and privacy. in c/xmpp

[–] pjoter 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it should be abandoned by anyone who cares about these things. Not only does it leak a fuckton of metadata by default

people, even in so-called hackers/nerds/privacy communities, tend to use whatever's popular and convenient at the moment, not what's "good"
until alternatives (https://xkcd.com/927/) become just as convenient and have user-friendly clients (including mobile ones), you won't convince anyone to use them, no matter what you say.
the bandwagon effect might work, like when a famous person encourages using a particular messaging app (https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1347165127036977153?lang=en).

there is a global censorship blocklist ran by a single person ( see xmppbl ) named jonas, which is implemented by a large portion of servers on the network and supposedly many clients, though i havent verified which clients implement it yet. for a “decentralized” network, there should not be a central authority that gets to decide who can interact with fellow users or other servers

Not that I'm defending those blacklists, but it doesn't change the fact that server operators aren't forced to implement them, right?

So we can't create communities? in c/tech

for now, there's no need to divide into parts at such an early stage
