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.
