How do we go around the DNS centralisation problem?
nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z you had an idea the other day using Nostr. I didn't quite understand it, but would it be worth actually developing a new protocol for this outside of Nostr? A specific Decentralised Domain Name Server Protocol?
That would be really cool. A DNS server is trivial but you’re always on the hands of your internet service provider, same for the mail servers
No. I disagree.
The ISP is an implementation detail to facilitate I/O. You can achieve the same using LoraWan, radio, satellite comms. Just not that convenient.
Email server is software. It can be ran anywhere.
However, DNS needs approval from only a few corporations who are in this monopoly business.
Email server can be run anywhere if you have a rDNS, normally controlled by the IP address owner, plus FCrDNS.

That's a good point.
There's a few moving parts indeed.
