@benroyce@mastodon.social @ohir@social.vivaldi.net @rootschange@kolektiva.social @scathach@stereophonic.space If there is a "you" to shut down then "you" have a problem. Why is BitTorrent still running after 25 years. It's an amoeba. It has no head to cut off.
Now I tried to write an email system like that 12 years ago or so, and it worked fine, but I could not get a critical mass of users. It used the same Kademlia algorithm as BitTorrent.

@mike805@noc.social @ohir@social.vivaldi.net @rootschange@kolektiva.social @scathach@stereophonic.space why is tor still running? tor was started by the us naval research lab for dissidents outside the usa "i'm using tor, no one can catch me" 😂 no, they just don't give a shit about you, you're small beans do you think they don't control enough exit nodes to figure out who is saying what? do you think they don't have enough visibility into bittorrent to know who is doing what? roll any service you want mike if you get big enough, the govt finds a way
