typical file-sharing networks

Tox messaging network

Matrix channels

I would consider all of these to be trawling dark waters.

    ...and most of the people who agree with that notion would also consider reading Lemmy to be "trawling dark waters" because it's not a major site run by a massive corporation actively working to maintain advertiser friendliness to maximize profits. Hell, Matrix is practically Lemmy-adjacent in terms of the tech.

    This ain't the early 2000s. The unwashed masses have found the internet, and it has been cleaned for them. 97% of the internet has no idea what Matrix channels even are.

    I've been able to explain it to people pretty easily as "like Discord, but without Discord administration getting to control what's allowed, only whoever happens to run that particular server."
