If I ever have enough money, I’m thinking of setting up my own small server and migrating Lemmy to I2P. A Lemmy instance with the same features, but running on a completely free and anonymous network. Everything will be allowed except for moderation regarding serious topics and spam. It’s a nice thought, even just imagining it.
You must log in or # to comment.
Hard to pierce pseudonymity doesn’t interest me that much, because it’s bad enough having all your posts connected together.
I want something like 4chan (but heavily moderated), where all posts are just marked “Anonymous” and if you make 3 different comments, it’s not publicly shown that they came from the same person. It’s ok to retain the info privately for a short period, for moderation purposes. It could be ok to assign a persistent pseudonym for each thread, so if you comment 3 times in the same thread, those comments are connected to each other, but not to other comments in other threads.
This is a good article about the attractions of completely anonymous posting, though it’s from the pre-supertoxic internet era: https://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/shiichan
I would be too lazy to, unless I eventually encounter my ‘gateway drug’ to i2p.

My main concern would be usability. i2p usually has lag in the hundreds of milliseconds, which would make something full-featured like lemmy kind of a pain I think. I’d imagine it would be so slow
I’m sure that won’t happen.
How can you be so sure? There is a reddit clone on i2p already and it’s very slow
Users will, of course, have to accept that I2P is slow. Still, by using i2pd, optimizing the number of tunnels, and opting for a minimalist web interface, I can create a Lemmy instance that’s quite useful for the I2P community. I’ll make sure it’s a PWA. I can implement aggressive caching.
Everything will be allowed except for moderation regarding serious topics and spam.
So you’re making a Nazi bar
Yeah it would have to have some serious moderation to prevent it from turning that way
By adding rules like “Only the X community can share posts from I2P to the Clearnet,” I can be sure I’m not disturbing the rest of the Fediverse community.
Probably not. I2P is a pain to set up, for little benefit other than a decentralized network. The latency is not worth it currently.
When it becomes click and install, and the latency is improved, then maybe.
