Is i2pd.i2p run by the real I2Pd developers?

[Chef K]

Title says it all.

the only reason why I'm saying this is that:
1: I've been to the one on the clearnet and it looks nothing like the one right here
2: it contains some web buttons that I don't like...
3: a lot of text there is written in Russian?

It's their site; they can do whatever they want there. Or do you see it differently? Many young people who come here for the first time make the mistake of thinking that the fact of networking together makes us a community of like-minded people. This is a common misconception. There is no global “we” here other than the underlying P2P network. You will find partial associations in certain areas of interest, which will be dissolved as soon as the needs have been satisfied. Those who come here are forced to make their own decisions. If you are looking for fellow members for your cause, you will advertise it and take the trouble to present your views. The same applies to you as it does to other racists.
