We Cover Topics Other Sites Are Too Afraid to Cover (Even When They Know the Facts)
It's not that they doubt the truth, they just realise there may be consequences for talking about it
August is just around the corner and a few months later we turn 19. Next year it'll be 20 already.
One thing we're proud to say is that we lack fear, so when something can be said or needs to be said, it will be said. Repeatedly if necessary. Saying the truth many times does not detract; in many cases it is imperative.
Techrights started as a WordPress site. That was in 2006 when I was still a graduate student. In 2023 it dumped Drupal, WordPress, and MediaWiki. That was well overdue. It also protected us from LLM bots.
We do not have advertisers or sponsors, so there are no "unspeakable" things or taboo topics. In Geminispace, our reader base is growing. Gemini userbase is in general growing, based on our observation. Looking at Lupa statistics today, there is now an all-time high of 3,099 active capsules (active, not historic). We serve, on average, about 40,000 Gemini requests per day. That's hardly censorable, partly because many nation states don't know what gemini:// is and how to access it. We never censored anything there. If someone attempted to request a redaction, and assuming there was a potent reason for it, it would not be applied in gemini://. Nor can Gemini easily be undermined by certificates foul play, DDoS attacks etc.
In case it's not obvious, many people want to censor this site and tried to censor this site. But they have a blind spot. They also fail to understand that trying to hide things may inadvertently result in those things becoming even more visible. █
