Someone below known as DrBob or Mark, You asked: >Which other systems provide fully-decentralised forums?
"Decentralised can imply "distributed" or "federated". A list of applications that have support, or plan to implement support, for federation (interoperability) are distinguished from distributed ones here, http://we-need-a-free-and-open-social-network.wikispaces.com/Information+Center Thomas Thomas Ruddy, Switzerland, Privacy in E-Governance http://www.thomasruddy.eu Message: 1 Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:07:12 +0100 From: drbob <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Freedombox-discuss] Is FreedomBox interested in using Retroshare? Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I thought the point of freedombox was to provide privacy and control of your data? This is exactly what Retroshare tries to do - in a fully decentralised manner ;) I'd rather not just focus on file-sharing features either... Which other systems provide fully-decentralised forums? ------ Marc, if you are interested in anonymity... Retroshare provides strong anonymity. Certainly better than bittorrent or other file-sharing networks like Mute. The key is to build a trusted link-level network on which the file-sharing can take place. We use the "Turtle" protocol - developed by Tanenbaum's group from the Vrije University. Here is a link to an academic paper describing the "Strong Anonymity" features of Turtle: http://www.turtle4privacy.org/documents/sec_prot04.pdf and the wikipedia page on Turtle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_F2F Mark. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
