Re:NoFILTER – free speech blogging app and content on IPFS on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @10:01AM (#29162610)
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. - Eleanor Roosevelt

That's a great question. Free speech doesn't mean lawlessness. There are many exceptions listed in the US constitution and those can be pursued by authorities to the degree they navigate IPFS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...

For starters, we deliberately made a conscience decision not to make it easy to include photos or videos in content. We also made a decision not to create a general feed where all content is accessible.

Welcome to NoFILTER, the unstoppable, uncensorable, undeplatformable freedom of speech app. By design, this app allows you to spread your word without limits. This app and your articles reside on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized mesh network consisting of thousands of user nodes. There is no web server, no database, and no cloud; therefore, making this app and your content unstoppable and undeplatformable.

When your article gets published to IPFS, the hash of the contents of the article becomes the name of the file. If one character gets added or removed the hash name changes; therefore, making it impossible to censor.

If a government were to try to block the nofilter.org domain, you can still access the site and the content via hundreds of IPFS gateways around the world as well as through #IPFS directly by downloading the ipfs companion browser extension or by using the Brave browser which natively supports the IPFS protocol.

Here's the same article but hosted on NoFILTER (IPFS) - https://nofilter.org/#/0xae48565bfb998f7cc7855e910345f5b801a...

Re:Ask HN: Examples of email-first projects or startups? on Friday August 13, 2021 @10:17AM (#28169136)
I built an email-powered social network called Uhuro (https://uhuro.com/). I guess it could also be used as a social listserve platform.

Email addresses work like APIs. For instance you can send emails to [email protected] to join the social network or [email protected] to quit. Other email API addresses include:

- [email protected] = invites friends and family to join

- [email protected] = Replies with the instructions

- [email protected] / unfollow@ = Follows or unfollows CC'ed users

- [email protected] = Replies with all users following you

- [email protected] = Sends your email message to all of your followers.

Here's more information on how it works - https://uhuro.com/how.html
