@yawnbox I don't think you have a clear understanding of what you're talking about, and it might be fun for you to look a bit more deeply into how TOR works and its dependencies.

@Mer__edith With respect Meredith, i’m talking about decentralized protocols and their capability to not depend so heavily on the service providers you’re arguing for. Tor Project has shown how possible it is (i used to work there, and it’s spelled Tor not TOR). I listened to Moxie’s aversions to decentralization for years. That’s what I keep seeing now, with posts like these. I also understand the value of huge cloud providers, I’ve worked for many companies who use them, and have worked for them, and I understand why you depend on them and how important that is to a high quality service. Thank you for all that you all do. But what conversations does Signal Foundation actually have on the topics of resiliency through decentralization? How much money could you save by allowing the community to take on aspects of the network? How much resiliency and trust could be gained, without losing performance?
