I’ve been thinking more and more about western power/influence of internet infrastructure, especially the simple cases of censorship. DNS and Domain Registry are big ones, another concern is of hosting and such with AWS.
I want to start looking into infrastructure (that technical people can use) that is in regions more hostile or less likely to waiver to western fuckery.
We should be thinking about this,
I can share some p2p and blockchain projects…
I like to look at import/export maps,
and generally look for countries that are eastern aligned or non aligned at least.
At least for me it’s not a tech problem. I don’t think p2p and blockchain really address the issue directly. The issue is of western state power, and the combining influence of private capital. That affects all tech.
The most interesting project to me revolving around p2p has been peertube because it doesn’t require anything special for end users beyond JS. It can help distribute bandwidth without third party services. For blockchain, I have never seen a single useful thing involving it. I’m not even trying to exaggerate.
If you have projects share them though. I could be wrong and narrowly looking at both p2p projects and blockchain.
