So, not a lot of people know this, but I originally created https://pagekite.net/ to make it possible for people without a public IP to still be full participants in decentralized social networks - like this one.

Been waiting 7 years for the concept to take off... is it time? :sunglasses:

@HerraBRE I think maybe that's more for distributed than for decentralized? Masto is entirely usable behind a NAT. Or do you mean like, for people to host masto instances?

@OliverUv Yes, for people to host their own instances. To me that's the whole point, not replacing Twitter with "Some other geeks who run code on our behalf."

@HerraBRE could you explain a little bit about what pagekite does, and how?

@ajroach42 Relay servers (reverse proxies) in the cloud forward your traffic over a tunnel to your actual server. So the actual server can be stuck behind a strict firewall or NAT but is still part of the public web.
