I think the long-term solution is spread awareness and reduce the stigma of censorship-resistent anonymous networks such as #Tor and #I2P.

Naaaturally. I decide to look at #i2p on ubuntu in terms of resisting scraping, since the only way for a scraper to attack i2p by scraping is to participate in the network, which makes the network better.

And it turns out that the i2pd package currently in ubuntu 24 is broken. However their instructions https://repo.i2pd.xyz/.help/readme.html / their own apt repository work out of the box with just an apt install i2pd and everything works.

Except browsers other than #links2 and #lynx . #links2gang

A botnet accident recently overwhelmed the I2P privacy network, a reminder that even the most robust decentralized infrastructure faces scaling and security challenges. I2P is a cornerstone for censorship circumvention, and its struggle against this accidental "attack" highlights the ongoing need for investment in open-source resilience.
