"any-sync networks are permissionless. This means that anyone who knows the IP and port of the coordinator node can connect to it, create new spaces, or download existing encrypted objects. Data inside spaces is always secure, as it requires space encryption keys to read it."
From the docs on self-hosting. I am not a security expert, does anyone know if this is still considered safe? Feels weird that anyone can download my data, even if it is encrypted
I would argue that access and utilization of the internet is needed to participate in society. That is to say if we define "participate in society" beyond being alive and merely existing in close proximity to your neighbours, the internet is inescapable if you want to pay bills, stay up to date what is happening in your neighbourhood or have any chance of a decent living (e.g. a paying job).
This is why I built Yumee (https://yumee.recipes), a social recipe sharing app where you can only share recipes that you have yourself cooked (and you need to share a picture of your creation). Makes it very real and you can build your cookbook own cookbook mixed with recipes from your friends and family
