In light of the recent de-platforming of the stormfags and
other recent incidents it is clear that the future of free
speech is on shaky ground.

The stormfags are considering becoming their own registrar
but that is no better solution, because they are as big of assholes
as the people that booted them off the internet.

We need to prepare for the inevitable and build our own alt
root DNS system to bypass the tyranny of ICANN and the registrars.

requirements:

1. any TLD can be registered and no fucks given .mylittlepony .faggots .ihatejews
2. TLD's are not owned
3. TLD's should not conflict with existing TLD's on normie net
4. ???

reply suggestions or criticisms.

What's going to stop someone from brute-force registering TLDs if there's no barrier to entry?

Even if they just pick up a ton of the most popular ones and then people have to use randomized strings to reach content they want them that's kinda shitty.

well TLD's are not owned if someone registers ilove.nazi someone else could register ihate.nazi

We have ZeroNet as a pretty well formed alternative, and with its 10MB standard limit it encourages people to be courteous with how they treat other people's hard drive space and bandwidth. 1MB = 200pages of plain text.

How does such a thing even work? Because in actuality you still pay a ISP to access shit (same issue for alternatives to http and other ips).

So, if anyone really wanted to stop freedom of speech why could they not easily prevent people from going to these places or snooping? And if they aren't at that level, then the freedom issue isn't so severe that a website couldn't be an alternative.

So, unless you guys open up some kinda free ISP who can cover people around the world and get them all to use these varied domains and shit, it's really a waste of time. Because either freedom is under attack and you need a whole network and infrastructure to support a whole alternative, or this is way overblown and getting people to switch is never gonna happen.

This wouldn't be hard. You could even make it fully decentralized by running on a blockchain and have it only to be paid with crypto currencies. Essentially when you "buy" a domain name you delete the price of the domain name from your wallet. So there wouldn't be a recipient of the money, yet there would still be price for it so people couldn't just squat a million domain names. Maybe add a super low latency onion routing scheme with udp support and you are all set.

The answer is to get rid of SSL and use something better, which doesn't require centralized authority giving you safety tokens.

>get rid of this thing that works and make something better!
And what do you propose then, Sherlock? Do you think these things come out of the sky?
>>
>>62323555
Which is a half-step away from promoting ideas they do like in search results. Which I guarantee they're also doing.

Seems that it is human nature to use power irresponsibly. The only real solution is to have decentralization so that no single person or entity can fuck everything up for everyone.

More and more I realize that it isn't government that is a problem, nor corporatism that is a problem. It's monopolization and centralization of power and influence.

Everything needs to be decentralized. The power grid. Food. Water. Education. Logistics. Manufacturing.

Centralization increases the odds of power mongers or idiots fucking society up.

Perhaps we could use some kind of divination token? It'll use an RNG (God's Will) to determine whether a website is safe or not.

Yet it also increases efficiency when acting against a threat. The problem with decentralization is that it basically makes you useless.

That's why the FBI stopped the Tsarnaev brothers after the Russian Intelligence told them that the older brother was radicalized by Chechen jihadist groups or the Intelligence agencies failing to act on info that led to 9/11 in the late 90s and prevented it. Oh wait...

The exception doesnt make the rule. The only reason Google is such a threat is because, surprise surprise, theyre centralized.

>>62322875
stormtards are historically proven to be a detriment to society.
>>
>>62324494
Except this shit happens all the fucking time. Because they're centralized, they have to go through more hoops in order to get one thing done and if someone attacks one node higher up in the hierarchy or , then the systems fucked for a long time at the very least or irreparably and large amount of costs for repairs and whatnot, compared to a less decentralized system, where that would just mean expanding the service to the affected region.

So many celebrated domain registers taking down those sites, claiming free market. Now I want Net Neutrality to be struck down and laugh in their face saying it's the free market.
