If you’re using it to browse webpages on the clearnet then yes, it’s slower, because that’s not the use-case for i2p. I’ve seen speeds around 1MBit/s which isn’t lightning fast, but also not terrible for an anonymous network.
That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.
Is it much slower though? I know it was, but is it still true? I get decent speeds on my torrents.
There was an attack not too long ago. I think there’s something about it here on lemmy too. But start with this link.

Typical no win situation. Can’t pick a side without being criticised, can’t not pick a side for the same reason.
Only thing that both the Israeli government and Hamas can agree on is that the Palestinian people is expendable.
True, but you can. For vpn you have to trust them. There is no other choice.
If you can’t read code yourself you can pay a number of companies some money to do the audit for you. Or you can learn to code.
You can’t learn to know how the vpn logs data.
But I get you. Most of us just put our trust in another entity.
You don’t have to. You can audit the code yourself and build it from scratch. Most won’t. But you can.
That requires that you trust your vpn.
