Interplanetary Wayback uses IPFS to store web page archives, although the index of those pages stays on the instance. Seems to be actively developed by a professional team.
From a google search and memory: There's nntpchan, diboard, openchan, Fchan (this one is federated on ActivityPub (official instance dead (active instance: https://usagi.reisen)))
There's a couple of attempts at decentralized 4chan clones that you can probably google whitepapers for (keyword: decentralized imageboard) but no name has really stuck. Beckons asking why they keep failing.
Bittorrent is also known for being easy to track outside of private trackers. You're saying IPFS is easy to block and track, but how does that look like relative to bittorrent? Because if it's about even, IPFS still has the advantage of not having a centralized tracker.
That is the case. Looks like I was confused. Thanks for the patience.
I think IPFS alternatives to the services below would improve their reliability, I would use them right now if they exist.
- IPFS alternative to archive.org and web.archive.org (Wayback machine)
- IPFS alternative to torrent trackers for pirated media, such as nyaa.si. The file transfers are decentralized but the content index (tracker) itself is centralized. Which is a pretty critical flaw, recently made apparent with RARBG's takedown.
Being anonymous isn't incompatible with helping people
You're missing the point I've made completely.

You could put the copy of the password generator on a server owned by you to almost equivalent results, but IPFS is useful here because I can use the copy you've made (after checking once it's not malicious) and keep safely using it knowing nobody has the power to swap it for something malicious, or the hash would be different.
Should we practice what we preach here? Wanna post the address here?
