No one can hack a blockchain, so no one can hack into a P2P network, right?

Correct me if I’m wrong…

I am testing these three decentralized applications:

  • Damus: Decentralized mobile version of Mastodon, using Nostr protocol.
  • WireMin: Decentralized version of FB + private messenger.
  • SimpleX: Private messenger.

From my perspective, if they’re unhackable, then why not switch to these alternatives?

Why keep Twitter or Facebook?

Or maybe only use these decentralized applications when in need of a private environment?

There would be no bans or censorship, and data leaks would be a thing of the past.

I suppose what’s preventing us is that tech giants are trying hard to ensure their audiences don’t hear about these applications, and their fame of course. Plus, people might hesitate to migrate because not many are using them.

    I use Session Messenger, on the Oxen network. Love it on principle even tho the implementation is a bit lacking in places.

    And there’s Tor… Which is what it is.
