@prologic@twtxt.net I mean, I wouldn’t want a Russian server to ensure my free speech, but some of the free speech absolutists will take it anywhere they can get it.
@ocdtrekkie@twtxt.net The claim and statement just makes no sense to me whatsoever. What does Russia have to do with censorship and wtf would you pay a Russian relay for?! 🤦♂️
@bender@twtxt.net Some of they key ideas in it are sound, like using cryptographic keys as identities and signing all posts. That part is fine 👌 The protocol itself is actually a bit “meh”, it’s kind of complicated, despite the claims. I guess you just shove JSON shit™ at the relay over a websockets channel? 🤔 Not really sure on the choice of cryptography there either but anyway 😅
Also it’s a push model from client -> relay and a pull model from relay->client (although I guess clients are expected to remain connected to relays via websockets for periods of time)
Also the idea of having to publish your posts to multiple relays just to avoid getting your content banned, censored or otherwise is well umm hmmm
@prologic@twtxt.net Russian sites generally don’t care about US law, so you can feel free to say things on a relay there you could get in trouble for here. Of course, I’m confident Russia allows so much criminal Internet activity in their borders because it’s annoying to the West.
