    Server-wide censorship cannot be allowed. / This eliminates every platform I know of.

    Within the I2P anonymous mix network there was an attempt, at some point around 2015, to build a system named Syndie where everyone would have to be their own censor, and servers would host content without the server operator really knowing or caring about what they host.

    It failed to take off, but I’m not convinced if the reason was architecture or the main developer leaving.

      Just guessing, it likely failed due to:

      • Being relatively unknown
      • I2P being relatively small
      • Java being a non-standardized language
      • No data verification (malicious host can corrupt data)
      • Poor UI and UX
      • The main developer leaving

      These are killshots to this type of service as people need to develop/extend/use it - for it to be viable. It is in the right direction, but (similar to many cornerstoning attempts in FOSS) is not handled gracefully.
