<p>The nice thing about being the admin of Let's Decentralize is that, whenever I wish there was a way to do something on the Internet anonymously, I already have a mental record of which of those things I can do simply by hopping onto Tor Browser. Need to look at a public Twitter feed? <a href="http://hikariu7kodaqrmvu3c3y422r6jc7gqtpvvbry6u7ajvranukx6gszqd.onion/rollcall/tor.html#nitter">Peep that shit using a Nitter instance</a>. Need to look up a weird health symptom or something potentially incriminating (like if it's spelled sodium <em>nitrite</em> with an I or <em>nitrate</em> with an A)? <a href="http://hikariu7kodaqrmvu3c3y422r6jc7gqtpvvbry6u7ajvranukx6gszqd.onion/rollcall/tor.html#searx">Searx instances</a> have an awfully hard time tracking <code>127.0.0.1</code>. Publishing code for a project that enables the user to do something illegal, like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221022233636/https://deemix.app/">download massive amounts of music off Deezer</a>? Codeberg and Notabug are pretty Tor-friendly, but you can do one better by <a href="https://letsdecentralize.org/rollcall/gits.md">using a hidden service</a>.</p>

<p>Unfortunately I also have a bad habit of <a href="../september/browsers.html">giving moids on the Internet the time of day</a> and falling victim to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221022234415/https://lifehacker.com/what-cunninghams-law-really-tells-us-about-how-we-inter-1848733445">Cunningham's law</a>. So when I booted up <a href="https://codeberg.org/lethe/beres">Beres</a>, the worst RSS feed reader in existence (I should know; I made the damn thing), and saw that our (formerly-)favorite moid was <a href="https://archive.ph/S4Q8R">failing at technology <em>yet</em> again</a>, naturally I felt the urgent need to respond. Thankfully I managed to calm myself before sitting down to write this post. I decided to not make you slog through a misandrist rant. You're welcome!</p>
<p>The argument of the aforementioned article is twofold:</p>
