@toast DNS should be decentralised and permissionless

@toast Shouldn't need anyone's permission to make a human-friendly alias for your server, obviously.

@toast You know, you could have just asked for my use case politely instead of being an asshole about it?

@ignaloidas @toast I love the concept of GNS. It has the right technopolitical architecture (web-of-trust rather than hierarchy).

@toast fedi is a public forum dumbass

@ignaloidas @toast it doesn't have the feudal style social hierarchy of ICANN

@toast If I respect your preferences, will you respect mine?
Because I did not in any way forclose reciprocity and I don't know why you assumed that I did.

@ignaloidas @toast I know. But users can add anything they want to their portion of the namespace, which is not a second-class citizen but a root zone in it's own right (master zone).
Then again, that's probably possible with DNS as well, but (I imagine) more hackily.

@ignaloidas @toast How easy would it be to get everyone on board with this new system if it didn't have the additional benefits of GNS that you refer to ITT?

@ignaloidas @toast Also, how secure would this decentralised DNS be?
Why hasn't it been done already?

@toast Same here. But I think if you feel uncomfortable, you should explain why instead of lashing out. All I did was reply to your post.
