You know, it’s like you’re walking through the forest, enjoying its beauty, and then you don’t notice how a hungry bear attacks you, even though you were warned about it.

What a shame, when the trap snaps it will be very painful…

    And here I am, making a decentralised sharing protocol (you can use it for a secure chat app, facebook-like sites, just sharing and more), all encrypted, takedown safe and ready to go.

    And no one is interested.

    I’m not saying you should try to help me out, but it seems that an upvote or the occasionnal “nice, looks interesting” post is the most people can actually muster these days 🤷🏻‍♀️.

    Are even the nerds overworked nowadays?

      Is there more info on this somewhere? I’ve been pretty fascinated by that sort of thing since I started using IPFS and Peergos.

        You can check out the lot here, I also have a small lemmy community.

        At a first glance it can be seen as an IPFS but you can update the data (so keep the same link), and it should be quite easy to set up.

      I remember commenting on one of your tenfinger posts that I’ll give it a go. Since then I’ve had crunch at work and decided this week I’m off to a sunny beach, sans laptop. I guess you could say that…

        Hey no pressure!!

        I just vented some general frustration of mine 😊. If it doesn’t happen then it’s not the thing meant to happen, not the right time or space or thingy. Maybe next time 😁!

        Cheers and take care.

          A lot of things that appear to take off organically by being good, later turn out to have had a big expensive team running the guerilla marketing behind it. It’s pretty much impossible to just make something good and have it be successful on its own merits without someone marketing it.

            Ouch 🤕, yeah I can see that being part of it.

            I have refrained from saying you can share porn, music etc with it, or other potentially illegal files, but one part why I did it was so that anyone can have access to anything, like the wikipedia. I also dug down in the legal realm to verify it can be used legally, because your node shares things you have no control over.

            /End of rant 😋

            So guerilla marketing you say? Hmm. It’s a bit the snake biting its tail, if no one uses it, no one speaks of it. Guess I’ll continue some raids here on Lemmy… Thanks, and any new advice greatly appreciated!

            Cheers
