Maybe it didn’t open the ports? See firewall in the yunohost admin panel

That’s life, sad and fucked up.

prude american culture once again

oh I hadn’t thought of that.

Also it’s just straight up punk and more free

idk they might be a really cool and respectful person

It’s because they aren’t trying to sell as many t-shirts as possible (like fashion retailers) but instead sell to their hardcore fans. People who are willing to wear a LTT shirt might even be happy if it’s just for those who really identify with it instead of random people buying it to use as a t-shirt.

tl;dr: because they can

lol

Who would downvote this? smh

wow that’s pretty cool

that’s not how you link to a toot, you should press dot menu -> copy link to this toot

https://lemmy.161.social/post/10447 This was the original thread!

I found another interesting article:

Simon Harman, 23, Loki’s project lead, said Mr Watkin’s plan was by and large a surprise — and one, he conceded, that might not be optimal for the company’s emerging reputation.

Mr Harman says Loki did not invite 8kun onto its open source network nor help build it.

But some Loki staff may have advised 8kun administrators “to a limited extent”, he said, and provided some help to users hoping to access it.

“Generally, if we get requests for technical information about our platform, we’ll just give it out. It’s all up open source anyway,” he said.

“There’s definitely been interaction between 8chan users and the Lokinet team. I’m not going to say that that hasn’t occurred, but I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary.”

But I think all in all there isn’t clear intent here, so we’ll just have to see what the future brings.

Good luck to your team and such.

I’d like to host a router if there ever is a fork that doesn’t need the Oxen stake.

pretty cool! This shows that people will switch to better privacy solutions if they have clear branding and are easy to use. I wish there was an open-source and decentralized alternative to ddg

Pleroma is cool as well, but since mastodon allows to move your profile to a different server while taking followers with you I feel like this is a killer feature. I can confidently tell new users that it doesn’t matter which instance they join at first, they can always move later. Like this the feeling of “missing out” is relieved a bit.

I see that the announcement advertising post wasn’t on 8chan or 8kun but overchan, which makes sense, since jeff worked on nntp-chan. Sorry that I claimed they did.

8kun (rebrand after 8chan was banned) does host their site on lokinet and still does, for two years now though, right?

Also there is this reddit post where someone claims that

So it’s pure coincidence that Ron’s father Jim Watson, who has been hosting 8chan and is now running 8kun, has transferred some of his old business into a “Loki Technology Inc.” of his own some time ago (see https://www.5ch.net), and that 8kun’s planned “Project ODIN” caters to the same Norse mythology theme. It almost made me wonder, especially since Loki’s dev Jeff has also been active on endchan.

Their name actually is Jim Watkins and wikipedia also states that

Watkins also runs the Manila-based business Loki Technology.

What is going on here? Nothing to do with the Oxen, lokinet etc?

Is it just a coincidence that the biggest site hosted on your network is 8kun?

Also: $17k min investment to help the network, lmao that’s insane and I can’t imagine that does any good.

Thanks for addressing the points!

Amazing project
