after a year or so hiatus I reinstalled i2p on my debian.

I don’t think I’m going to use it much: I enjoyed using it to torrent files and to ask about censorship circumvention, things I now have alternatives to.

why is this network still relevant?

    It’s really not, until it is. I personally see it as a fallback infrastructure for redundency if Tor, VPNs, Bittorrent, etc. go dark. But other than that, no, it doesn’t really serve much of a purpose rn.

      And that’s exactly what happened a few years ago when the tor network was having issues.

      People needed a backup, and i2p was there waiting.
