Can we build another one?

We can build a GNU one! https://gnunet.org/en/

With .org's recent debacle...

Relevance?

dredmorbius · on Nov 30, 2019

The project is on the dot-org TLD, which has seen some recent discussion, compiled in this thread:

1) Both have to do with gTLDs/ccTLDs and sketchy behavior by TLD operators

2) Both have to do with site operators experiencing a sense of uncertainty due to problems with the ICANN landscape.

Is it really so hard to comprehend relevance? I'd tell you to try to keep up, but that's against HN rules & regulations, so I won't say that.

What is going on in the ICANN landscape (outside of the .Org profitization)?

.org isn’t a ccTLD?

arthurcolle · on Nov 30, 2019

You're absolutely right, it's a gTLD.

why is this downvoted?

gnunet is an application. the fact that the development is hosted on a .org is entirely irrelevant. gnunet's function doesn't depend on it.

I remember reading urbit's launch. It didn't make sense how things worked. What are your thoughts on it?

_rkz1 · on Nov 30, 2019

They could definitely do a better job of explaining what it is, how it works, and why I need it. I am interested though

Long story short, the creator and the relevant technology has strong fascist tenancies and should be stayed away from at all possible.

Cite: look up Mencius Moldbug or Curtis Yarvin. Alt-right 'darling'.

The tech itself has him residing as the root node, and able to 'kick anybody off the island'.

Didn't he leave Urbit earlier this year?

crankylinuxuser · on Dec 1, 2019

I have no clue. All I know is that it's tainted personally by him. Haven't looked back.
