I love the internet. Not what the internet has become today. I love the internet where you can be anonym, you can say anything, you don’t have to be afraid of SJWs or governments muting you or doxxing you.

Decentralization is the way for an internet like that. Bitmessage is a tool to achieve it.

Bitmessage is one of the only few tools that isn’t controlled by anyone, that isn’t censored by anyone. It’s serverless. Everyone has a copy of every message, no one can say what you’re doing on Bitmessage. It works with Tor, so you can even hide that you’re using Bitmessage. It’s fully text-based. POW works to stop spammers. You can have as many identities as you want, it’s fully anonym. You can safely, effortlessly leave your contact information anywhere, and anyone can reach you anytime. It’s open source.

It doesn’t matter if PyBitmessage development is slow, or if at some point it stops. Bitmessage is a free protocol, anyone can continue the development or even develop new and better clients.

Decentralized e-mail is a powerful tool that everyone and every website should use.

Chans are great. They are like e-mail mailing lists. It’s a fully uncensored forum that’s built into Bitmessage.

I don’t care if conspiracy theories or filth gets posted. If they couldn’t be posted, the program (the internet) couldn’t be truly free. It’s not the task of ISPs, governments, corporations or developers to censor what I can see and post. I’m a grown-up, I can filter out the messages myself.

Another similar project is I2P-Bote. Someone recently picked it up again. I hope to try it out some time.
