Interplanetary Wayback uses IPFS to store web page archives, although the index of those pages stays on the instance. Seems to be actively developed by a professional team.

From a google search and memory: There's nntpchan, diboard, openchan, Fchan (this one is federated on ActivityPub (official instance dead (active instance: https://usagi.reisen)))

There's a couple of attempts at decentralized 4chan clones that you can probably google whitepapers for (keyword: decentralized imageboard) but no name has really stuck. Beckons asking why they keep failing.

Bittorrent is also known for being easy to track outside of private trackers. You're saying IPFS is easy to block and track, but how does that look like relative to bittorrent? Because if it's about even, IPFS still has the advantage of not having a centralized tracker.

That is the case. Looks like I was confused. Thanks for the patience.

So you're running a website, and nerdctl's IPFS support let you serve your website over IPFS?

I think IPFS alternatives to the services below would improve their reliability, I would use them right now if they exist.

  • IPFS alternative to archive.org and web.archive.org (Wayback machine)
  • IPFS alternative to torrent trackers for pirated media, such as nyaa.si. The file transfers are decentralized but the content index (tracker) itself is centralized. Which is a pretty critical flaw, recently made apparent with RARBG's takedown.

Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people

You're missing the point I've made completely.

Do people create mods for games or create open source software solely for recognition?

They can't gain recognition, uploading anonymously. But if someone purely wants the crack for the game to exist they could do it
