Veilid is a peer-to-peer network and application framework released by the Cult of the Dead Cow on August 11, 2023, at DEF CON 31. Seems more promising than I2P.

          Yeah, there are alternatives. Matrix, Zulip for chatting and the entire fediverse for forums and micro-blogging. But they chose big-tech corp #321 and big-tech corp #123 👍

          At least they’re on Gitlab. I’ll give them that.

                I didn’t say ‘big tech’ I said ‘big corp’

                Regardless, ‘big tech’ isn’t really a thing its just a buzzword used by the media to describe parasitic capitalism that uses computers

                Also gitlab can afford billboards along the 101 in the middle of SanFrancisco so yeah they suck

                So then do you define a company with 400 million annually and over 2K employees as Medium Tech? Because that ain’t no mom-and-pop tech shop seeking to undermine the status quo, that’s got to be in the top 10 companies in that space. Obviously MS and Atlassian are bigger, but gitlab is like number 2 for git!
