FOSSILIZATION! This is easily in my top 5 most anticipated releases of the year. Both their EP He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten and the split they did with Ritual Necromancy were some of my favorite death metal releases of the past couple years.
This track sounds a bit more like Dead Congregation (and less like Krypts) than I hoped, but still recognizably Fossilization and very solid.
what would you be stealing?

Great to see the progress, this is a very import project for monero and I really hope to see it succeed!
Damn IVPN has always been a solid provider. No public missteps and supported XMR earlier than all (reputable) others including mullvad.
Time to switch to i2p and usenet at least until the next p2p protocol comes about.
diSEMBOWELMENT - Transcendence into the Peripheral
HMs:
While there's a grain of truth in this, I don't think anybody should be pushing for some standard to be "the" standard which eclipses all others now and forever. People, given sufficient freedom and knowledge, will gravitate towards what works best, be it old or new. Nostr is simply the protocol I prefer. I think it's better. Why pretend otherwise just becoause activitypub happened to come first and thus is currently more popular?
Nostr is a protocol like activitypub. There are many pieces of software built on top of nostr, just like lemmy and mastodon are both built on activitypub and can interact.
So yes.
Yes as far as I'm aware you can only leech via i2p what is seeded to i2p. Maybe one day the outproxy system will be more like tor exit nodes and allow leeching clearnet torrents from i2p.
But you can seed to both. So if you're already seeding in the clear (or via vpn) and your bittorrent client supports it then you might as well also seed to i2p.
Lemmy has certainly already won me over reddit. Going back to centralized social media is something I will actively avoid if at all possible.
However I believe nostr is a theoretically better protocol than activitypub. Having your account/identity tied so strongly to a particular instance is undesirable. As soon as there is a reddit-like (or even forum-like) client for nostr which is relatively active/polished, I will switch. Nip 172 can't come soon enough.
In addition to being less popular / newer than activitypub, nostr is also full of bitcoin[^1] bros and twitter refugees (not my crowd). But frankly I think complaints about that are like the complaints that lemmy is a place for tankies a couple years ago when people's only exposure was to a (much smaller than today) lemmy.ml.
[^1]: monero support would be nice though...
Any word on new dead congregation?
