< Gemini is not decentralized

~ostov

To ~owleyarc:

In Russia, internet connection costs a penny. Unlike domains. But the point is not the price (although for a russian person to pay for a couple of bytes seems absurd), this is not such a problem. The problem is centralization itself. The DNS is controlled by corporations and the goverment.

To ~contrarian:

This is solved by banal encryption, at least in the Tor this is the only way everything works.

To ~skedaddle3644:

Blockchain is definitely not that. It is not made for this. If you are looking for an alternative to centralized networks, then you need to look towards IPFS and their libp2p library.

Fyi, you can reply to comments to make threads.

DNS is no more government and corporation run than anything else on the Internet? Like, you still need a network to send it on (unless you want to do radio, which would be fun).

But if that is still too much for you then you can do raw IP and bypass DNS altogether. Or, if you prefer, use Tor and expose it as an onion service.
