Moments like this makes me thankful that reticulum is a small project and doesn't get much attention. Being low profile helps to not be targeted by big brother.

That's a little bit of a double edge sword. If a low profile project doesn't get much attention or use, then that limits its usefulness to everyone.

What's the point of building tools to help topple hierarchical power structures if it never reaches enough users to accomplish that goal? Sure, you and I could avoid the AI panopticon, but if 99% of the interractions we have with other people can't avoid it, does it actually matter?
