Federated matrix has become one of the most censored protocolls ever, despite being "decentralized and censorship resistant". Here is a discussion on the topic on our RS channel:

Matrix homeserver is blocking monero.social

Matrix is used heavily by devs and they reacted a bit nervous... https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2309

Although decentralized in theory, most of the landing and searching is done on the matrix.org homeserver. https://iv.datura.network/watch?v=W8KEuAEYjQ4 #Matrix - A Pit of Abuse with Government Ties If matrix is centralized enough by state agencies to enable graph anal

why use it at all?

They seem to use it for intelligence gathering.

we replace matrix with RS, then github once RS adds the function, a fully decentralized github, now that would be amazing :grin:

Now that would be awesome.

Sidenote: while in theory it is censorship resistant, in practice matrix.org is the only admin of the (automatically pulled) blocklist on github. The blocklist makes up +50% (!) of all content on matrix or +100,000 entries

according to the vid source.

Of course servers who dont pull the blocklist are facing hudge pressure because it can be inferred they are "hosting" pedo porn. How Monero got onto this list, i just dont know.... See u on Nostr ?

nostr is good, matrix is a good protocol in theory like you said, but the centralization to matrix.org renders it worthless.

btw 90% of all pedo porn is done by the feds in order to poison the well

i'd say 99% -> https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Pedophocracy The global elites are obssessed with violating and corrupting purity and innocent child. Their punishment in the afterlife will be like nothing that is even comphrehendable

censorship? there is an app for that. But it's not matrix.

Last week @tusker and myself have been busy setting up the infra on RetroShare. We're up 24/7 with +4 community nodes and +2000 network nodes.

We'd like to invite you to the 100% decentral Monero p2p experience!

RetroShare is much more than a backup for centralized solutions. It is a self-organizing network, where malicious actors are marginalized by majority vote and eventually excluded.

You are free to create your own channels. There is no hierarchy. Private groups/chats/channels/circles/nodegroups can be created, too.

The bright nodes are ON 24/7 (our own IDs) and the dark nodes are occasional visitors (1st degree separation). Any of +2000 nodes worldwide can be used to access public boards

In the boot phase we are invitation only. If you want to help testing reply here and get an invitation PM. Don't send me PMs from other lemmy instances

had to ban due to spam. PMs from monero.town are fine.

Note: vertical scale is log. Gvt debts are often nullified in a Great Reset every 80 yrs or so.

I mined my first btc in Jan, 2009 (yeah I'm an old fuck, which is not the same as an old fag, BTW) and abandoned ship 6 month later, when btc became exchangable. If a limited # of btc can be bought with an unlimited # of fiat, who has the power? ... you know we lost when Blackrock files for paper-XMR :) and sells it with 10x leverage...

True, fiat has the power to overwhelm less flexibel systems, lets call it monetary war. In this respect XMR tail emission is a defense. And delisting is a blessing... maayybeee, it will slow down things. Who cares

For those panicky but alive mine some WOW on your phone for fun and profit :) or get involved in your local community meanwhile or contribute to haveno and basicswapdex.

Actually we need challenges to grow. How about running a MWEB-LTC node with IPFS frontend, with atomic swaps to XMR? If I can write the scripts you can do it probably, too. Or, go figure how to block btc noobs bootstrapping over i2p.

Liquidity is much more important for speculative order book based gambling than for the exchange of real goods and services. Guess why XMR has a low volatility despite artfully cook'd up news? Monerorers have much more sneedle in the woods than heads in their ass, that's why.
