>The Internet can also go over any medium and it is also resilient to topological changes.
On the clasical internet if your ISP goes down, your entire internet does. ISPs can also be main points of censorship, and they collect your data. On Yggdrasil, it is a mesh network, meaning every node can also accept connections over any medium it wishes and route more traffic.
Look at China or Russia. They censored almost all of the biggest internet websites, and to access them you need to use a VPN. Yggdrasil doesn't have this issue, because as long as you can make one connection over any medium to the outside world (like for example over packet radio), you can access the outside net.

>Yaggdrasil doesn't provide DNS either.
Most people don't actually even use any DNS with yggdrasil, but there are a few classical DNS providers that simply serve domain names, but the system is decentralized because there is no one single registry, and anyone can make their own.

>The encryption is nice but we have encryption on top of IP via TLS which prevents any sort of man-in-the-middle attacks and I trust that a lot more than a new protocol.
Yggdrasil encrypts EVERY connection, unlike the classical internet, which can only ever encrypt if you have a domain name, which up the line you got from ICANN. This is possible because your address is a hash of your public key. This way there is (practically) only one public key for each address, and you don't have to rely on companies to assign them.

>>11965
wait, so, i can use ygggdrasil if my internet goes down??

>>11966
If you have another connection to another peer (over a direct Ethernet connection, WiFi, packet radio, or any other medium), then yes, you can, and packet radio isn't very difficult to set up.

>>11965
If I understand this right and it's the same as reticulum: This is good if you are building a physical alternative to the internet, but what is the point of running yggdrasil (or reticulum) over TCP/IP if we already have I2P?

>>11968

>If I understand this right and it's the same as reticulum
Reticulum has its own network stack, with its own protocols, different addresses, and so on. Yggdrasil on the other hand uses the existing TCP/IP stack with ipv6, so that any existing application compatible with ipv6 can connect over Yggdrasil.

>what is the point of running yggdrasil (or reticulum) over TCP/IP if we already have I2P?
I2p is unstably slow compared to Yggdrasil, and i2p can natively only connect over the regular internet, meaning if the regular internet goes down, i2p does too. Yggdrasil on the other hand can peer over many different mediums making it much more resistant to censorship, and a much better mesh network.

OK I think it's fine now

>There isn't a janniod chat room
yeah right

>Believe it or not staff actually do have to be able to speak especially the administration.
speak here so I can see it

>>11176
There is a janny chat but it hasn't been used pretty much for the better part of a year. Everything we do pretty much takes place in the public congress.

Guys the matrix server is fucking up AGAIN after an update. I have no idea what the fuck it's doing yet, it's pretty much using 90%+ of the CPU. The logs aren't helping.

We had this problem before, but it went away after I migrated matrix to another server.

Anyways I guess for now we have IRC, or we can use our matrix.org accounts (yuck).

>>11897
OK it's fixed. It was my fault, when upgrading postgresql you need to run vacuumdb otherwise it just does a whole lot of nothing.

bro got filtered by basic bitch ass r9k rules 💀

Cool story bro

Hi everybody it's me OP,
sorry I just am confused by my sexuality as I am in the throes of discovering that I want Liz Trueanon to shrink my dick into a little dicklet and then say buh bye to my dick
the realization made me irritable but Im ok now

Filter deng to dung

filter dung to deng

Filter Hitler to Shekelgrabber

Filter fascist to faggot
– ontologically, linguistically, historically & actually accurate.
or maybe shitskin subhuman (as they always relate to the aryan race they love so much), th@ works too.

>>11859
In chan-lingo "fag" or "faggot" are synonyms for "person". You kno, like "old-fag" or "new-fag" that differentiate on the basis of how long somebody has been posting in a chan.

Maybe "fascist" could be filtered to "national-suicide-gang", because historically that's usually how it turned out.

>Are we done with guns?
As a species ?
Probably not until we can do cheap directed energy weapons.

>What should the next board topic be?
tools ?

This might be a blind alley, but let's take a quick and dirty look at how for-profit platforms work. Take Twitter/X for example. Most(?) of its revenue comes from advertiser fees and the sale of data. To this end, advertisers need clearly defined audiences to target, whereas the value of data relies on plentiful and consistent user engagement. The platform supports this by encouraging the development of communities surrounding cultural products and specific personalities. Nearly all content revolves around some form of personality marketing or cultural production. Users are given numerous ways to superficially engage with and curate content. They are served content through an endlessly scrolling feed interspersed with advertisements, and the platform uses various limitations and nudges to encourage content creation which can be consumed with minimal cognitive load. Moderation is oriented towards securing communities and advertisers by policing speech, and eliminating junk content (though what counts as "junk" is pretty much arbitrary at this point).
Other platforms with a developed business model tend to follow the same pattern, driving the process of market concentration and degeneration ("enshittification") that defines a lot of social media, but this could change over time. Smaller cultural producers would prefer a simplified version of decentralized platforms similar to Mastodon, since the lack of such a business model puts less pressure on the platform's developers and maintainers to interfere with content consumption, as well as allowing for interoperability between a multiplicity of niche sub-platforms that can organize in ways that better serve their specific needs. Since existing platforms are under immense financial pressure to maintain their existing business model, it's likely we'll see the development of sophisticated services that help users automatically collate their data across multiple platforms and export them to another one.
With this in mind, as long as we're still assuming that leftypol is supposed to be political, it really doesn't make any sense for it to be structured like other imageboards considering the business model that the most prominent ones operate under. However, simply altering the structure of the site wont help if it still lacks a clearly defined political movement to drive the kind of engagement that is needed.

always though it was because i clicked on a /dead/ thread on the overboard

Stop taking drugs kid.

>>11075
It's a feature!

I remember that. The O9A "general" on org with some poster talking to himself was just another strange episode in a long list of strange episodes on org.

>>11634
Oh yeah I remember that. He posted a tranifesto using a password protected full metal alchemist tranime password protection. Fucking disgusting Nazi anti-human pedos. They all deserve to be thrown in a pit like the waste they are.

>>11635
Yeah, what looked suspicious is that the mods allowed those threads to go on for like several weeks before they started to remove them, everyone could tell there was some deliberate shilling going on in them.

While it's likely there is some fuckery, I think it's more the case this is what happens when you let mentally ill, ultra-thin skinned, Idpol/Tumblr obsessed trains into mod positions. Their politics is first and foremost about signalling how "radical" and woke they are and upholding every retarded piece of LGBTQZGDRPGFPS+-+# radlib-ism even if it goes directly against working class agendas or Dialectical Materialist analysis. The amount of times i've copped a ban, for holding the word for word exact same position as pretty much every relevant Marxist through history, lmao.
Like what even is the point of .org? It's literally identical to every "leftwing" reddit sub where you can't critique any fad lib ass position the radlibs have decided is a shibboleth.
This is why Leftist orgs and communities need to engage in serious gatekeeping against crazies, especially of the BPD/NPD variety, becaue as soon as they grab an ounce of power they use it to force out anybody that even questions their retarded positions becaue of their thin skinned narcissistic insanity.

Reminder that Narcissists and BPDs are literally attracted like flies to rotting meat to left wing spaces that don't gatekeep.

<We investigate the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue. In our first three studies, we show that the virtuous victim signal can facilitate nonreciprocal resource transfer from others to the signaler. Next, we develop and validate a victim signaling scale that we combine with an established measure of virtue signaling to operationalize the virtuous victim construct. We show that individuals with Dark Triad traits-Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy-more frequently signal virtuous victimhood, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables that are commonly associated with victimization in Western societies. In Study 5, we show that a specific dimension of Machiavellianism-amoral manipulation-and a form of narcissism that reflects a person's belief in their superior prosociality predict more frequent virtuous victim signaling. Studies 3, 4, and 6 test our hypothesis that the frequency of emitting virtuous victim signal predicts a person's willingness to engage in and endorse ethically questionable behaviors,
Sound like a reasonable analysis

<such as lying to earn a bonus, intention to purchase counterfeit products and moral judgments of counterfeiters, and making exaggerated claims about being harmed in an organizational context.
How is
>intention to purchase counterfeit products
considered as
<ethically questionable behaviors

LOL did they just try to sneak in copy-monopoly ideology into psychological research.

It's not a moment, they do it constantly.
They're flaming, and then cowardly covering their tracks when someone's smart enough not to bite.
