@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?! 🤦♂️
Yeah, you know what? Just take it from me, and stop hurting your head with it: keep away from that shit. At least for now. It is absolutely worthless.
@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.
It’s absolutely laughable, how some people see Russia as a free-speech utopia. I’m sure those thrown in jail, for as little as suggesting, that what Russia is doing to Ukraine, might be a war, are really glad, to live in such a free country.
Even when it comes to hosting, you get more restrictions, than you do in the US (or the before mentioned Ukraine), unless your controversial thing, is either convenient for their government, or you’re willing to play ball.
