< Gemini is not decentralized

~tatterdemalion

Gemini and the web are both decentralized protocols, and it's silly to say they aren't. You don't have to be p2p distributed to be decentralized. Centralization for both happens at a higher level, when people make themselves dependent on certain sites; in particular, when they use social media platforms rather than (fungible) hosting platforms.

If you want to self-host without dealing with DNS, VPS, or static IP, run Gemini as a TOR hidden service. That'll even let you host your lolicon shit, if you're a filthy pedo. Just... don't expect anyone to link to your gemlog.
