It's worth noting the distinction between the auth layer and the data layer here. Tangled uses ATProto primarily for authentication, but it departs from the standard PDS model by offloading Git storage to knots.

While that's a clever hybrid, Bitchat is aiming for a truly serverless, local-first experience (especially with the Bluetooth mesh aspect). Radicle’s gossip-based P2P stack mirrors that vision more closely. In this case, Radicle isn't "better" in a vacuum—it's just the right tool for a project that wants to eliminate mediating servers entirely.

not against it and I totally appreciate it but just wanted to point out what I thought, thanks for mentioning the platform has somewhat tools to prevent low-quality content on the site

When algorithms are removed, quality filters are eliminated, which makes it possible for spam and low-effort articles to overrun the chronological feed and quickly obscure high-quality information. In order to get their writing found and read, authors must rely extensively on outside media and audiences because outstanding work sinks so rapidly without an engagement engine to sustain it, which is a problem. But otherwise it's great.

While it may be fast and easy to hop into AI and see the platforms for every candidate, you should really not let AI pick your candidate for you. AI and bots are notorious for fabricating information and the hidden bias can subtly sway your opinion without you even knowing. It’s much more effective to rely on some of the old tried-and-true method like official government voting materials, non-partisan voting tool websites, and even listening to the candidates themselves speak.
