Decentralization isn't everything. It's not the goal in itself. There is a long tail of product design decisions that make or break a platform (which is why I find it kind of silly that Bluesky spent 2 years arguing over protocol design, though that's a different story). But that point is that decentralization is the foundation for a viable platform. Without it you're doomed to repeat the path of hundreds of social media apps of the past... Just a different paint on the same exact structure.
@omgubuntu Microzilla Thunderlook ?!
@amiloradovsky you can become a Jew, though
@wrongthink @omglinux Honestly, this. One of nastiest PoS I'm forced to use.
@boilingsteam Who needs new games when you can sell the old ones again?
#GNUnet doing it right
> Moreover, the DHT underlay mechanism is *general* and allows for additional underlay plugins to be defined. This will make it easy to run R5N over other P2P networks (like I2P) in the future.
@anarchiv One does not simply...

@Hyolobrika @roboneko Virgin DNS:
Requires shittons of tiered hardware and links to withstand hordes of users asking for the same set of names shoveled into a few root zones.
Has a central authority to govern the zones and appoint regional registrars.
Names are a scarce resource and most of the sane ones are squatted.
Requires parallel PKI infra to prevent hijacking and stuff.
Occasionally you lose your name and/or certificate to scammers and/or governments.
Chad GNS:
The more users there are, the more traffic it can handle.
The network itself is your "secondary".
Everyone can share their zone for free.
Content is authenticated and can be anonymised.
Isn't actually required for the rest of the ecosystem to function, but you can share your KVs with friends anyway.
Toots as he pleases.
