OpenNIC: the unsung hero of the future?

So I’m ashamed to say that I’ve basically been ignorant of the fact that there’s been an alternate democratic/open/post-Capitalist domain name system operating since 2000. It’s called OpenNIC (https://www.opennic.org/) and – with a bit of design love and creative marketing – I don’t see why we couldn't get widespread support for it. It would be a huge step forward for decentralisation/individual sovereignty. https://mastodon.ar.al/media/upXlzzLil5JHFbxONJQ

@aral mmm ... yes ... there is all we need since 2000ish to decentralise internet... but noone cares apparently ... been there , waiting for 15y to have ppl to follow in BXL on wifi p2p network with advanced tech... but heck, everybody got vdsl/4G with gratis FB so it's just a waste of time apparently ... :/
or not ?
