I like it

TBH nothing will be secure from it's operating systems or browsers spying, but anything that decentralises databases is a step in the right direction from being cancelled by some arbitrary host.

One to watch for decentralised (you’d hope spying and censorship-proof) community building:

@marcusquinn The documentation seems to have nothing on how the river protocol on which it runs handles spam. This is a crucial concern for a communications platform like this, and a difficult problem to solve.
CAPTCHAs might be one way, but even these are defeated by AI nowadays.

@marcusquinn My experience is that blockchain folks aren't interested in anything other than blockchain. Even worse if I come in there talking about something that is actively hostile towards blockchain (as Veilid is).
@g66lol Don't know anything about Veilid, but yeah, definitely some we-know-best vibes. Creators prerogative, I guess.
