    Giving tens of thousands of dollars to great orgs that have real free software licenses and ask for nothing in return? I’m glad we have futo.

      Yeah I don’t understand why everyone is gate keeping open source all the sudden, there is a line to be drawn between openly changeable and open to being understood, the understanding part is all I want from things because then I can tell if its actually bad or not and that is the part we mostly care about.

      Its ok to not like futo because you don’t agree with some of their peoples politics but that’s an entirely different thing.

      I’ve heard it said they forced Freenet to stop focusing on anonymization, which caused a fork and name change of the original Freenet to Hyphanet.

            Site doesn’t load. Here’s a link to the article

            https://www.hyphanet.org/freenet-renamed-to-hyphanet.html

            But it doesn’t say anything about futo

              Here’s the toot:

              @light The funding by FUTO sadly led to the forced renaming: https://www.hyphanet.org/freenet-renamed-to-hyphanet.html

              That new project does not have privacy as a goal.

              We (Hyphanet) are fully volunteer-driven now. #Hyphanet has been working pretty well for the past two decades and is continuing to move forward. Features:

              • websites
              • Microblog (Sone)
              • Chat (FLIP: IRC server)
              • Forums (FMS)
              • decentralized database
