  Well, dns is centralised, icann controls it.

    letting people like Elon Musk control the blockchain should make it obvious why this is a horrible idea. most of those people are fascists and/or “anarcho-capitalists”

      If he can control it, then its not decentralised.

        hence the inherent problem with crypto. you’re always gonna end up with fascist billionaires at the helm when you essentially implement a vote determined by how much bro-tokens you own. I’m not aware of any blockchain implementation that isn’t just a reskin of late stage capitalism.

    I agree that DNS is horribly centralized and outdated, but tech isn’t gonna solve this problem which is political. I think every TLD should be ran by a federation of independent worker co-ops managing each TLD autonomously. who then convene at a federation council to replace the functions of ICANN
