So many trackers are down right now, even the I2P tracker. Did the government do it?

    Ah yes, “the” government.

    That’s probably it.

    “the government” - doesn’t bother to mention which government xD

    I’m guessing you’re from Finland, right?

    It could be a huge variety of things. Maybe one company they all used went under. Maybe there was a bust. Maybe there was a global event (fire, flood, war) that has messed with the connection to an essential part of the system.

    Whatever it is, it isn’t a good idea to make it public unless it really is the absolute end. Doing so only reveals how the system works, which makes it weaker. All anyone can and should do is simply wait and keep seeding.

      A small joke and look at the downvotes, lol.

      We need to be able to joke about things in this messed up world.

        It is not a joke, as one of the most recent posts by this user uses the K slur for Jewish people. I don’t know why you’d assume it’s a joke in any case, anyway; it certainly wouldn’t be a good one…
