This article is me being _stupid_ ~ I hope I don't need to explain myself or why this is stupid lol. **_Urbit is fucked_** - but it was part of a rabbit hole I did fall down. So the post stays here! Yarvin is a big doo-doo stupid head _& so was I_ !! + +
+ +--- + +If you have been around me any time in the past year or two you have +likely heard me discuss Urbit. + +## What is Urbit? + +Urbit is a decentralised P2P network written entirely from scratch, it +even features its own language. Hoon & Nock! Urbit genuinely enticed +me as an interesting platform, which I used extensively as a comet in +2020 & 2021. Dipping my toes into Hoon development. + +In 2022, Urbit introduced "Layer 2". This made Urbit's identities, +known as "Planets" basically free. Before Layer 2, another user would +have to mint you an identity. This was slow and expensive since it +used ETH under the hood. Layer 2 got rid of these fee's almost +entirely and many users simply gave out Planets for free. This is how +I was fully on-boarded onto the platform as `~maptyn-nomlec`. + +## Why Urbit? + +Any idea or platform that attempts to challenge the current "norms" of +the internet inherently interests me. Urbit did this for me, with its +interesting take on authentication & networking and its use of its own +programming language. + +Through Urbit I discovered new authors[^1] & books, I even joined a +group of users getting into 3D printing and they helped me configure +and debug my new printer! There was an actually community in this +weird chunk of the world. Like a little secret club. + +## Can we try again? + +Every time I'd use the platform there was always a weird undercurrent +to conversations. Honestly half of all discussion I had on the platform +was completely fine, but the remaining 50% always left a bit of a sour +taste in my mouth. + +It's no secret that Curtis Yarvin[^2] was the original mind behind +Urbit, and uh, lets say he had some... Interesting ideas I am not the +biggest fan of. A large section of Urbit's user-base is there because +of Yarvin. *not everyone*, but a sizeable subset. To be honest I find +myself wishing I could use the platform without this feeling present. + +I know, I get it, literally the meme. But unironically I kinda agree +with it. The dudes soul isn't imbued in the code. Honestly I have zero +issue with the *platform*. It's just the surrounding community around +it that makes me uncomfortable, like if a pub you really liked started +getting filled with people you absolutely cannot stand. It's not +everyone, some of the people I've met on the platform are genuinely +some of the nicest most interesting people I have ever talked too, +but, I think I might try talk to them somewhere else. + +I love what Urbit is trying to do. But it's not working for me +anymore[^3], and I probably won't be using it much longer... + +Shout out too `lomped-firser` and `monted-tallex` for being chill +dudes, everyone in `urmetica` for recommending some **banger** books, +`litmus-ritten` and `tinnus-napbus` for helping me with my 3D printer, +`poldec-tonteg` for writing some amazing articles and finally +`lagrev-nocfep` for running an amazing course teaching Hoon. + +I know we likely don't agree on everything but without you guys on the +platform I would have left much sooner. + +--- + +I hopefully have a longer write-up on the alternative internet coming +soon. It's been in the pipeline for a while and I want to eventually +publish it. It's been an interesting journey for me into alternative +languages, platforms and ideas. + +[^1]: I was recommended to read [Mark Fisher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fisher) & [Georges Bataille](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Bataille) through Urbit +[^2]: [Mencius Moldbug, etc...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin) +[^3]: "It's not you...
