HelloRoot

There is a lot of legal troubles for manga piracy recently. Lots of manga and chapters got taken down. So this is probably the reason (but maybe not).

They claimed there will be no CSAM because of the given reasons.

I wanted to highlight that those reasons do not actually prevent it.

My tone might be harsh (the sarcasm at the end definitely is) because I see this as a marketing push for their crypto platform. "marketing" - as in they will be making money from users, so it is in their interest to tell lies or ignorant half-truths, to make more users come over.

Any normal platform tackles this problem with proper moderation. Platforms that make money, often hire moderators.

the protocol is text only, to embed media, you need to host it on the regular ( Centralized ) internet

except we already figured out how to encode images (or any file) as text when E-Mail was created. That is how images in E-Mails, attachment or embedded, are done. I can easily imagine a userJS script that will render them in the browser, but even if not you just copy the text and decode.

if a community is badly moderated, the user will never see it, it wont be recommended to him. the user can visit bad communities directly just like you can visit a bad website directly, but it’s not recommended to you so it’s safe to use.

Ah... so you're guaranteed to have a dark CSAM subculture on there at some point.

being p2p, seedit is not private, so it can’t really be used for illegal activity

As if that has ever stopped anybody. See all the people that got caught for sharing it on the clearnet. Or on Signal, Telegram or similar, where you have to enter your phone number, which is personally tied to you.

All in all - Great way to adress the concerns, by admitting they are in fact possible. "Hurray crypto" or whatever.

Sorry, I am just gonne dump you some links from my bookmarks that were related and interesting to read, cause I am traveling and have to get up in a minute, but I've been interested in this topic for a while. All of the links discuss at least some usecases. For some reason microsoft is really into tiny models and made big breakthroughs there.

Wow! I didn't know

It does need a server though. Either the centralized official one you can selfhost one.

a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed

Switch to self-hosting headscale when they enshittify in an attempt to become profitable, duh

the number makes it more sad

You can buy fabric that has metal threads, which works like a faraday cage and put it in a sock or whatever. TitanRF for example.

If you want a diy and cheap option.

I got like a whole square foot for 10 or 20$ years ago and it works like a charm.

android is a very very sad deployment of linux

You're right, I didn't even think of that

GrayJay has a peertube plugin which works well.
