The time for I2P comes when people bring it, I think. If we think of I2P as like the internet, then what brings about it's time is applications that popularize it. I'm not sure what that application or group of applications will be, but a better way to configure and launch browsers on multiple platforms might be part of it, and obviating the installation of the JVM/OpenJDK for Windows users is a part of it too.
Mixing social elements and peer-to-peer file sharing might be another, like a f2f microblog/messenger/torrent tracker for sharing files privately. Sharing a single b32 for every peer would have to go though, I would use Magic Wormhole to generate a short phrase which contains a link to the real b32 gateway to their node. Or somebody who has more time/likes node better than me could port WebTorrent, that would bring us all the really awesome stuff that people build on top of WebTorrent all of which is incredibly cool and useful. I really want to see more games, even simple ones. Chess, checkers, backgammon, either using traditional chess servers or something modified to be peer-to-peer. Freeciv long-turn games. Up to a point, even real-time games are possible with short, multipath tunnels. Games are neat because they occupy a social context which is not widely considered a part of the anonymous internet, even though major services have emerged and been successful in marketplaces largely because of things that happen because gaming is not tenably anonymous.
What I think these all share is a tendency to be "Fun," the ability to be "Easy," and for that to produce a "Network Effect." People don't join networks to talk to no one. Sometimes they join networks to talk to themselves, but mostly they want to do things with other people. Finding new ways to facilitate people doing new things with other people is what I think grows I2P.

Do you think voter fraud was consistent toward Joe Biden?

It's pretty cool, but just make sure you upload your files through the browser via the drag/drop function and not direct to your server via FTP (they won't show up as uploads in MuWire).
I have crappy net so I don't really download or share anything but I've poked around and uploaded some ebooks about ham radio and building log cabins or something as a test.

I don't think it'll go anywhere. I don't think it can be proven that voter fraud took place. I'm not saying that I don't believe some did, I just don't think it can be proven. We shouldn't use electronic voting machines, we should use paper ballots and in-person voting with ID check like other countries for federal elections. And yeah I know that the concern was over paper ballots ( mail in ones ) but I'm more worried about the machines. Paper ballots are counted with a lot of accountability involved.
I just think both candidates really really sucked honestly.

It just depends on the sub. The company policy sucks and makes the sub mods enforce some dumb shit but usually the smaller or hobby focused subs are pretty chill.

Funny you should ask, i2p.i2p migrated to git literally 17 minutes ago!
Awesome! I hope that'll bring new contributors.
Thanks for your work on I2P ♥ Does it feel like the time for I2P is starting to come?

That was an interesting read. I had heard about the five eyes but didn't know it extended to a bunch of other agencies and countries.

Yeah I suppose, but even a few tokes for me and I'm out like a light like a mini kethole.
I'll stick to my cocaine, as I prefer that.

Lol. It depends on the strain for me and how much. Honestly I smoke so much less now as an adult than I ever did as a teen. Even though I smoke daily it's a hit here or there throughout the day. That is key. You sit down and smoke an entire bowl you're fucked anyway. A puff here and there, perfect.

the notion that if you censor people they'll just stop existing is almost criminally ignorant, it actually ensures that their ideas remain as it doesn't change anyone's mind. quite the contrary, it reinforces that they are right and the censor is evil.
Exactly. Think about Milo Yanapahowever you spell his name. Banned on Twitter like 4 or 5 years ago. He made some jokes about feminists and trannies or something and they cancelled him. I always thought he was kind of annoying before but I bought his "Dangerous" book after that haha.

I cannot smoke cannabis for some odd reason, Unused to smoke it when I was a teenager but I stopped and now when I smoke it, it completely knocks me out.

censorship is predicated on the belief that you can kill ideas.
you can only kill people, ideas are immortal.

bots are not human and do not have natural rights so they are exempt from free speech.

Well, here is the conversation that got me banned: https://raddle.me/f/Postmill/123713/new-postmill-instance-ramble-pw
Postmill is the name of the software that this site uses, though it was created for that authoritarian site. Someone linked to this site, stating concern over our TOS. That forum is more or less the official forum for the software.
Luckily, I forked the software so we can continue private community development of it, as the license allows for, and we can push it as a platform for all. Not just the extreme-left.

censorship is the easy way out. the real challenge is using your speech to counter other's because that requires thinking critically and censorship is just pressing a button.

I was trying to remember this, thanks! And about not using normal devices, it makes almost everything harder, but it's the price for having security :/ Kinda sucks, but i think it's worth it. I would like to know how to check if my username:password has been leaked, just in case, but for what I remember, never happened to me.

Ha! I'm the opposite. I tried cocaine a couple times many years ago and never really liked it. I liked weed more than I liked the feeling of cocaine. Never got into the pharm stuff either. Weed, shrooms, acid is about enough for me. Maybe once a year I'll do some molly or something but it's one of those things that finds me I never really look for it, lol.

This is a great read to see the timeline of marketplaces that existed and information about them, I also like the information about PaxRomania ;).
