How do you conclude a piece of technology can solve a societal problem?
I'm holding the history of provable doxes in both TOR&I2p off the conversation, I'm just trying to understand the rationale.
@Moon [insert whomever you think has better insight]
But anyways, I don't believe it's the solution. Weebs got the western anime industry by the balls because of piracy. We got it has good as it is and we fucking created the market, because of piracy. Putting it all in the darkweb is a bad fucking idea. The piracy of it has to be accessible to the more normies. Fuck, nobody fucking knows what fucking torrent is lately. The absolute garbo I find on normie anime forums is extremely disheartening. Muh tablet generation zoomers has no fucking clue how computers works
@coolboymew @461 @heavens_feel@neckbeard.xyz @JapanAnon @Moon I think WebTorrent could fix this. It's basically a JS torrent client that runs in your browser. It's what BitChute uses.
How do you go from: “Well governments are going to harass our culture encrypted or not, so how can Webtorrent help?"
@coolboymew @heavens_feel @JapanAnon @Moon
@461 @heavens_feel@neckbeard.xyz @Moon @coolboymew @JapanAnon Even governments can't shutdown torrents since they're P2P. Even if the site hosting the torrent files goes offline the torrents themselves will still exist as long as people are seeding them.

You know you kill all of bittorrent by deep packet killing UDP datagrams & TCP ports 6881-6889?
I'm trying to understand _how you think_ that lead you to believe technology will solve this.

@461 @heavens_feel@neckbeard.xyz @JapanAnon @coolboymew You could circumvent the physical infrastructure of the internet entirely through things like Sneakernets, wireless meshnets, etc.
@coolboymew @461 @heavens_feel@neckbeard.xyz @JapanAnon A sneakernet is basically a "computer network" based off of transferring files via removal-able storage devices (flash drives, SD cards, etc.). Seems inefficient, but can be anonymous as paying with cash and is commonly used to smuggle illegal information in countries like North Korea.
A meshnet is a type of computer network where all the nodes (connected devices) are connected directly to as many other nodes as possible. So, there is no need for routers, modems, DNS servers, ISPs, etc. Essentially the entire infrastructure of the network is peer-to-peer.
