Veilid is a peer-to-peer network and application framework released by the Cult of the Dead Cow on August 11, 2023, at DEF CON 31. Seems more promising than I2P.
And they use discord for comms.
Pretty sure they are using discord because most people are familiar with it and it is easier to contribute to the project.
Yeah, there are alternatives. Matrix, Zulip for chatting and the entire fediverse for forums and micro-blogging. But they chose big-tech corp #321 and big-tech corp #123 👍
At least they’re on Gitlab. I’ll give them that.
If we are talking about the most promising stuff, I will mention gnunet is basically replacing the entire internet using all the existing hardware. I think that is the end goal, but short term yeah, i2p and others are a great next step.
I don’t understand why they would rebuild TOR and IPFS. Why not build this into I2P or something?
Comparison between different protocol implementations.
discord and google docs. say no more
