- colejohnson66 5y agoThe crypto and Gemini communities are fine doing it (for better or worse)
- _-david-_ 5y agoDoesn't Gemini still use the normal DNS servers?
- colejohnson66 5y agoI don’t know. My point was that some groups have no issues forcing their users to install a separate system to access their “internet”

Examples: • if a site is banned from ICANN DNS, then there is no other choice, • if I want to keep bots, spammers, search systems, providers, and government out of the door, • if I want to welcome technical elite but hide from everybody else, like it was in old Internet. • if I don't want to pay X$ every year for every domain. • if I want to have a cool name for my site. • if I want to create overlays for popular sites, to fight ads, spam, promotions, PR, and unwanted content.
