OnionShare already has a chat feature that works pretty well. What does this add?
How does the anonymity work?
There are no user identities (not even cryptographic ones), and room encryption key is stored in URL which is never sent to server. Anyone can choose any nickname and you can access official instance (https://nanochat.anarchists.space/) through Tor.
Cloudfare doesn’t let me through. 🙄
We were under attack from a Singaporean botnet for two weeks, so I had to put our Forgejo instance behind Cloudflare because of that 🥲
Do peojects like Anubis fail in such cases?
Anubis is for blocking AI crawlers, not DDoS attacks
