What
All things and everything about decentralization: news, announcements, proposals, and discussions about decentralized apps, protocols and communities.
- decentralized web (dweb)
- peer-to-peer (P2P)
- file-sharing (e.g., BitTorrent, IPFS, and Gnutella)
- self-hosting
- federation (e.g., ActivityPub/Fediverse and Bluesky)
- federated apps (e.g., Mastodon, Lemmy, and Pixelfed)
- cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum)
Why
I’ve noticed that although a lot of people are interested in decentralization, there aren’t many forums where people can share news and discuss and develop projects together. Reddit used to have /r/Rad_Decentralization, /r/DarknetPlan and so on but the 2023 Reddit API controversy was the the final nail in their coffin.
I love the idea, but does it have to be on Lemmy World? That’s not very decentralized :)
If you’re looking for suggestions, I feel like dbzer0 might be a good fit.
Consider it at least federated? :)
I’ve an account on dbzer0 too and often lurk there as well, however I wasn’t sure about its longevity given the amount of piracy-related activity going on there.
Lemmy.zip?
You can always try lemmings.world if you want, I’m planning on keeping it long-term.

I feel very similar with regard to blockchains, however I didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think (or rather hope) that there are some cryptocurrencies/blockchains that are actually useful/interesting to discuss. Certainly agreeing with you though.

Nice! Currently working on a federated software, so now I have a place to share it when it’s in a presentable state.
Excellent!
Link doesn’t work on mbin.
Interesting, not sure why. Try the following:
First one works. Thanks.
