      There’s a few places… Torrent tracker. Could use a lot of improvement though, yes. It’s always been that way unfortunately. TOR is larger but that makes sense due to gov origination and its associated money.

      Compared to the open internet and the slightly dark parts of the internet, there is nothing of great interest, except the fact that no one can easily hunt down what you did while you were there.

      The real problem is, by the time you actually want to be there because there is no anonymous access to the real net, they’ll ferret out people running i2p at all and block them from doing so.

        The problem I have it that it doesnt seem lile there can ever be anything. Its so slow dynamic content would be horrible and all the users are anonymous so keeping bad actors out would be extremely tired some.

        Correct. Its terrifying to confirm my fears with others. Protocol blocking, ddos attacks on the networks, etc…

          I’m mostly worried that at some point they’ll fire up a client, note the nodes it’s connecting to, send police to their locations, nested wash rince repeat.

          I was actually kinda stoked at AI because we could have it locally write semi-plausible fiction with digital payloads embedded. And all of a sudden our social media is based on a database hidden in bad vampire fan-fiction.

        Already is more or less, it’s becoming incredibly difficult to stay anonymous. Cloudflare is utilized by %20 of the internet. They no doubt have databases full of device identifiers and associated ip addresses. And thats ignoring the rest of the neo axis of tech companies with their own data pilfering setups and various law enforcement agencies. Can’t do shit without verification these days. Can’t even spin up your own servers without a cc. I mean technically bitcoin and xmr exist but between KYC laws and ddos attacks against the xmr network… Lol. Don’t let the bastards grind us down, but they sure as hell wish to succeed.
