@djsumdog @lsn Early in ZeroNet's life, someone created an imageboard known as Millchan. Eventually, someone cloned that site and made an unofficial 8chan bunker known as 08chan in case both 8chan's clearnet site along with it's onion went down. When 8chan did go down back in 2019, a lot of people jumped to the bunker. Many people didn't realize that ZeroNet was not anonymous unless you use it with Tor or a VPN and as a result, many people had their IP addresses doxed. Eventually the bunker became known for CP spam and gave a bad reputation for ZeroNet as a whole. The original ZeroNet devs gave up on the thing after that happened.

@lsn
ZeroNet had a major flaw in that it required a certificate to post anything. This is fine for sites like blogs, forums, or wikis, but for anonymous sites like pastebins or imageboards, it doesn't work so well. There was an 8chan bunker on ZeroNet when the original site went down. They had some hack solution that automatically generated and rotated keys to maintain some level of anonymity. It didn't work out and journalists also exposed that many users on said bunker were using the site with their bare IP, which was another problem as ZeroNet was not anonymous on it's own. All that on top of the fact that you seed an entire website, including any illegal content that someone may have upload made people lose faith in the project. The lead developer seemed to have stopped working on it around the same time as the failed 8chan bunker incident.

As for OpenNIC, I feel like the thing that is holding it back right now is that it doesn't address VPN, proxy, and Tor users, as you are using their DNS servers instead of your own, so unless your VPN server is using an OpenNIC DNS server, then it won't be able to connect to an OpenNIC site. It also doesn't address something like emailing from a server with an ICANN domain to a server with an OpenNIC domain as the ICANN email server needs to be connected to an OpenNIC server in order to recognize it.

@mischievoustomato @theorytoe @coolboymew @bleedingphoenix But in all seriousness, don't.

@mischievoustomato @theorytoe @coolboymew @bleedingphoenix If Mike Matei could do it, so can you.

This is literally the most stux thing I've ever seen him do.

The "nothing ever happens" meme is just a psyop made to get everyone to accept the status quo.

Did these people forgot what freedom 0 meant?

This is literally the case for virtually any "alt-tech" platform. They start out supporting everyone, but then they cater to the group that is most active on their platform, be it Nazis, conservatives, libertarians, or even leftists.

@beardalaxy I already have my credits sequence start with an ending message before scrolling to the actual credits (much like the ending to Zelda 1). It's kind of already too late, unless I want to do a major overhaul to the credits code.

No it's just because they are a bunch of grifters and found out (at least for them) that "Nazis" (some of which hate porn and wouldn't use it if it had it) are more profitable than pornographers.
