"getting I2P up and running is more of a challenge. It's not a deal-breaker, but it does require more technical know-how than the average user is likely to have."

Honestly I see this as a strength. It gives a barrier of entry to block out stupid asf normies such as the ones on Tor. Most people here are actually cool, I guarantee the seed/leech ratio on postmans tracker would be 1000% worse if it was as easy as Tor simply because normies ruin everything. also the people that run most of the biggest services here are easily reachable because of the smaller and more chill user base. I can fr just hit up notbob on irc or idk (probably postman as well but havent done that).

TL;DR Tor users are sux because there is not a barrier of entry.
