they've spent bajillions making a behind-the-screen finger print scanner, just fucking use that

that torrent chat thing already exist

s

@TwinVickers What is it? Is it for Discord like chat?

it's a default plugin in vuze

Oh, okay

but it's fairly basic, with the magnet link you can chat between people downloading it (if they have that same plugin)

Yeah, that's pretty different than what I'm talking about

so it's decentralized and you can download via tor or vpn or socks or whatever

but it's a good base for further development

if that's your thing

essentially the same as irc but without a server. with a pass key you can limit who joins and if you know java you can add moderators etc.

i remember a similar software but it ran via irc dcc

but that was 20 years ago, i don't think it became a thing

@TwinVickers I think you're talking about Bitmessage, with that Vuze plugin

If you have the passcode/address hash, you can enter a room

So there's no way to ban people, or create a ranking system

Very insecure

Unless you come up with your own client that integrates encryption and multiple addresses that are "grouped" together into "servers", with revolving keys that are attached to a member list

If you're not on the list, you can't see the unencrypted messages anymore

Why don't you make one yourself?

Cause I can't fucking code lmao

Learn to code, hipster faggot

It's interesting to take a dive into the dissenter section of pages that don't have comments

@Fitzydog learn to code

Fritz is an MSM plant confirmed

Fitz is full of soy

@galesteppes Ur mean

@Fitzydog no, the problem is, with video/audio chat you need low latency but direct connection will reveal your IP. And bouncing it around a bunch to make it harder to track will result in shit latency. With the server model, this issue does not exist.

But moderation is a bigger issue anyway.

You HAVE to have some sort of authority for that, which is a big problem if this shit is decentralized

@leavethisbotnet This is not for video/audio, just text.

There's no chat protocols that organize things the way discord does with the "server/channel" model

What's IRC then?

IRC doesn't handle the "server/channel" model in the same way as discord @leavethisbotnet

IRC does it *better*

@turtwig Oof.

What about image and link embedding? Do modern clients handle that well?

yes
