Here's a service announcement because Ivan-sama just fucking sucks at communicating new releases outside of his I2P-only IRC channel.
i2pd 2.45.0 is now available, and fixed quite a lot of problems in 2.44, and even became even more superior to the regular Jewva version of I2P than it already was.
For OpenBSD users, it's advised to get the ports package from here: https://gitler.moe/koishi/openbsd-ports
For everybody else: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/releases/tag/2.45.0

Users of a DPKG-based or RPM-based distro can install from .deb or .rpm file.

Users of Arch-based, Install Gentoo-based, Slackware-based, Void, or any other distro's, install Boost and OpenSSL (if not done already), then wget the Tarball (Source code (tar.gz)), do tar zxfv 2.45.0.tar.gz, make, and make install.
Void and Arch-based distro users can also wait a few days or poke their distro maintainers to let them know that the new version is out now.

For FreeBSD users, you'll probably need to wait a bit longer, because FreeBSD's make command doesn't understand if/else commands in the Makefile for some stupid reason, and gmake doesn't support the "install" command, making it uninstallable on FreeBSD for the time being.

@wrongthink @charliebrownau @Intramuros_ @japananon In terms of search engines, searx is NOT a solution. It merely defers the problem. yacy is a solution, I think, but it needs work.
http://wiby.me is not a solution either, but it's too cool to care.

I don't normally shill for stuff like this, but I would love to see a push to get *people you know* on fediverse. Don't just shill on twitter to get a fedi account. That doesn't work and it's how you end up with a bunch of garbage posters. If you're in a chat group, just share screenshots of good posts. I convinced two of my friends (who stuck around) to join that way.

The thing to focus on is fun, not "free speech", although not having a bunch of dystopian tranny bots with the ban hammer at the ready is certainly a plus. I think people are realizing that the musk takeover didn't really change anything. As that reality sets in, it's a good time to push for a place where you can actually have fun without paranoia.

Nature Controls CO2 – Not Man
“the net amount of equilibrated carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is the same as if human beings never existed.” Climate Change is a natural phenomenon, and not manmade.
“Stop treating AGW…human-caused global warming/climate change…as a worthy opponent. Do not ascribe reasonableness to the other side. It is not reasonable, not true, and not even plausible.”
