It supported torrent for ages, but it has only one tracker that doesn’t really have very much content. Now qBitTorrent or something else supports it out of the box.
I2P is very slow, slower than Tor. Maybe after more people join, it will be faster. Last time I tried it was painfully slow to even load most eepsites.
Nothing. Everything your instance has is your IP address (mostly useless) and password hash (also mostly useless). Everything you have here is public. Maybe except your settings, like light/dark mode.
I use Gitea as project hosting and personal wiki. I also host Nextcloud for files and news and Jellyfin for movies and music.
In this order.
If there’s no such thing as authentication when you view posts, you have no privacy anyway. Everything you post online can be seen by anyone and archived anytime. It’s not like you have privacy when you post now.
Only real threats of Threads federation are EEE and server overload. Not the people from there or privacy. If someone wants to see some content you don’t want to see, like some opinion you don’t like, they should be able to see it. I don’t understand why there would be such list, it would be pure censorship and waste of time. I have heard Threads has a pretty good moderation, so that solves this problem anyway.
I don’t get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.
newzit.com for international news, Polsat News for Polish/sport news and Slashdot for tech news. I add them to RSS whenever possible.
