you're welcome!

But you don't have to broadcast anything if you don't want to — maybe with the exception of things like "racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, and bigotry are not welcome", to make sure people who need that kind of safety can see that they can at least expect some basic moderation. 😉

A lot of fedi instances will block any Meta-owned instances on sight. Some will not. How it plays out long-term depends a lot on how well Meta instances get moderated.

You can join communities on KBin instances, you can post to them and comment on posts in them, and KBin users can join communities on Lemmy instances and post to them, and comment on such posts.

So, "yes", but you might have to subscribe to a given community first.

Oh I am not saying it is not doing fine. I just found it super-interesting that a much younger project got ahead, even if perhaps only temporarily, as far as active users are concerned.

Ok, I should have been more specific: the way it is often framed (and the way I have seen it framed, and how the linked article frames it) is as if these were US-affiliated labs working on bioweapons. That is not what Nuland said. Biological research facilities do not have to be bioweapons labs, just as explosives research facilities need not be arms manufacturers.

Greenwald (the author of the linked article) of course does what Greenwald recently is hell-bent on doing, which is to try to scandalize anything he can. I used to respect the man, but that was a long while ago.

The only "world power" (as laughable as it currently is) trying to "conquer" anything right now is Russia. Enough with this Kremlin-propaganda-parotting tankie crap.

All the claims against tor and i2p are discussed in numerous academic papers and are acknowledged by the developers themselves

I was not talking about claims about i2p or Tor. I was talking about the claims Nym people make about their own project. I see little reason to trust them on those claims.

You're entitled to your opinion. I am entitled to mine. I don't think we will see eye to eye here. In 10 years we will perhaps know; I expect Tor to still be around and useful then, as opposed to Nym.

While security by obscurity may have been cutting-edge at the turn of the millennium, such an approach is rapidly showing its age. Nym’s cutting-edge mixnet design

I think they really need to use "cutting-edge" more in their materials. Will make them look even more serious and trustworthy.

Also, when you quote whole blocks of text from their materials, please have the decency to mark them as quotes.

Anyway, I stand by my assessment.
