True: ThePirateBay, LibGen and SciHub show it can be done, with enough lawyers and money, and customers engaged enough to follow you around as the Feds play whack-a-mole.
Would be reassuring to have other options, though.

DNS is more decentralized than Nostr and IP assigning entities. Even fucking North Korea has its TLD that works 🐶🐾🤯
"A little yes", as my old boss used to say.
95% of the world lives outside the reach of the First Amendment, and 95% of internet users use their ISPs' regulated DNS server.
Countries like Australia and France DNS-poison as a matter of course.
1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are win, but outside our circles they are little used...
For sure. Because there are so many resolvers out there, it’s mind boggling 🐶🐾🤯
Good luck teaching my mum how to setup custom DNS resolver on her own.
(I've tried. And she has two university degrees, and cares about freedom.)
Nostr.build will survive a DNS takedown, like ThePirateBay did. But that's only possible with a tech-savvy and motivated core audience.
Give your mum this link! 🐶🐾🫡
