I can see how it might look like Hijacking of a project, I'm not sure how that applies to FOSS projects though, they own a twitter with all of their followers, if Google deems my content as valuable then it will rank my site (which btw is managed by a charity now, I dont even have DNS access to it but I will speak more on that later because it's a lot to cover).
Regarding your comments about Aloha being the only site listed, also an interesting find and I'm happy to explain why both mine and my business partner agreed together to black or greylist certain networks. There was at the time significant allegations and and 'drama' upon its release, at the time I didn't think much of it personally since Vik (owner of Cake Wallet) tweeted it out I figured some guy was just testing it out, but as time went on they made them selves known in Matrix and Reddit, I believe those conversations where all public, but from what I remember from the research I conducted before determining to blacklist them from being automatically included in the list, was that the conversation started on Matrix, and if you back track, or at least find the logs from IRC/Matrix, I'm pretty sure they are out there, you'll realise that it was an attack on Markis or the one who claimed to have operated it. Since it was the second server to exist, we did want to take the allegation seriously just in case they were scamming as per the significance of drama that was perpetuated behind it. After about 12 hours of carefully reviewing the code, we found nothing. It was clear, it was a strategic competitive attack from Reto associates, this completely goes against the philosophy of decentralization and federation. Why spend 4-5 years on a project and then have people behaviour like that and deem it as acceptable, it will tackle anti-decentralization and anti-federation behavour tactically in the interest of FOSS, sometimes that comes along with pissing powerful people off. What do you think a powerful person or group would do if they realised they had to share their potential profits with other Haveno federations? :)
Hence, I'm being held hostage for payment for what I believe to be doing the right thing.
Hence, other third party networks getting shut down buy social discredit and provable lies, namely Aloha in this case being malicious being untrue.

It's unsurprising you thought Reto was the only network, there have been a handful but they tend to get shutdown or deleted by mods almost immediately and then ultimately get removed from haveno.com because they chose not to keep the seednodes online anyway, it seems this Aloha are keeping them online anyway even though no one is using them.
