We don't want DNS anymore, but we don't have a replacement. It's the same as Facebook->Diaspora, Twitter->Mastodon. The non-centralized versions are too hard to deploy to all the non-techies out there, despite being the "morally" correct architecture.
- behringer 7y agoThe only thing wrong with DNS is that we entrust it to a corrupt government. It's time another country step in and take control and replace ICANN.
- autoexec 7y ago> It's time another country step in and take control What's to stop them from being just as corrupt? It's too much for any one country to have control over. It'd be far better to come up with a way to take the power out of the hands of any one entity so that we don't have to keep moving it around when the people holding all the power are inevitably corrupted by it.
- zokier 7y agoAbandoning the whole idea of gTLDs and using only ccTLDs kinda accomplishes that, each country would control only their part.
- ftvy 7y agoICANN is a non-profit organization, not a government entity.
- drngdds 7y agoI can't speak for Diaspora, but Mastodon isn't any harder to use than Twitter. It's mostly network effects that keep people there.
