what difference do I use this platform compared to using vpn or tor? I think both platforms have the same function that is through censoring the website.
To understand what Tipestry does and how it's different than anything else out there, please look at this link:
http://tipestry.com/sites/bitcointalk-org-index-php-topic-4978851-0/topics/1371What it does is add a comment section to the page we are on right now. For this particular site, that's not very useful because bitcointalk is already a message board, but the vast majority of sites don't have comment sections or message boards and a lot of mainstream media companies have shut down their comment sections. These are some examples of companies that did that:
o Reuters
o NPR
o CNN
o MSN
o Bloomberg
o The Atlantic
o Newsday
o Vice
o Business Insider
o Recode
o International Movie Database (IMDB)
o Rotten Tomatoes
o ESPN
o Popular Science
o Chicago Sun-Times
o The Verge
o USA Today
o The Daily Beast
o Toronto Sun
o Toronto Star
o The Telegraph UK
o Stern.de
o The Moscow Times
o Al Jazeera
Tipestry lets you comment anyway.
