Maybe no one cares, but in case you are interested. This drama with Reddit was not only the last straw for me after over 12 years of faithful membership, it was a catalyst.
I have been interested in a more decentralized internet for a handful of years now and Lemmy is my first step. I have dabbled in Freenet and I2P and now I’m going to roll up my sleeves and get involved.
I have started my own Lemmy instance and invited people to use it to access the community.
My next step is to spin up a Freenet node. After that I will be making some more intro videos to explain what it is and how it works.
After that I will start looking more into I2P and doing the same.
During this time I will be following closely the development and growth of all 3 and reporting on it as well on my new YouTube channel.
The internet should be for the users, not for profiteering corporations. This should be our bastion from their greed. I will do my part to make it so.
If you need help with I2P then come on over and we’ll do our best to give you a hand.
I will definitely join up! For future reference on Lemmy you can make you link using the /c/<community>@<instance.url> format so that I can access it on my instance! e.g. I2P It may have to be searched for on the local instance to work, but I think there might be a fix incoming.
Sorry, very new to Lemmy, still learning. Thanks for the tip on how to link communities/sublem (still workshopping the name) so that anyone can reach it.
No need to apologize! I’m here to help!
