What people are gonna be learning the hard way, is that fully decentralized technology is really the only way to go. Anything dependent upon main stream domain name services can be taken down instantly in the current cancel culture. We saw this with Gab. Thats not going to be a one-off. Eventually when they are tired of tolerating us, all "non-woke" sites will start being taken down. The second reason fully decentralized technology is the way to go, is because it does not have the full brunt of money and resource requirements. The nodes of the network, ARE the network, they ARE the infrastructure, they ARE the bandwidth, they are "all of the things". They are also not dependent upon the main stream domain name services. Yes, they tend to have main stream web portals, such as Odysee / LBRY as one example. However, if the domain name for the portal ever got nuked, the network itself would remain completely unaffected. What is really needed is some sort of third party developer team to design an app with the intention of having creative new implementations of how to get existing decentralized protocols and network to work with each other. So many developers try to make "yet another protocol" or "yet another service" or "yet another site", etc and fail to see that there is a need to have mechanisms to bridge these networks to make them all stronger, together. The existing developers of these protocols and services can't be expected to do it. They're busy. It takes a lot to continue to keep up with what they've already got on their plates. There are some APIs being work on towards this sort of intention, such as GUN and LibP2P, but -- these are not applications. These are not things an end user can install that function in a LBRYesque sort of way.

This is sad, because they had a sweet interface!
