The blogosphere has mostly disappeared. It's difficult to search for recent blog posts on anything. The top page for any current event on both Duck Duck Throw and Fooble are all major news sites.

@Moon I found that Emercoin TLDs are supported on OpenNIC nameservers. All you need to do is change your default DNS server to an OpenNIC one.

whatever is chosen to link fedi sites outside dns, we should make sure it can be replaced later if needed. ens on ubiq would work great right now but who knows in 10 years with non-eth chains.

@Moon @alex @xianc78 Onions are the most viable option, but unfortunately they are very slow. My favourite network is Yggdrasil (yggdrasil-network.github.io/) where each node receives a public IPv6 address and all communications are encrypted so there's no need for HTTPS. It's still experimental (only ~2500 nodes) and it's not clear how well it will scale.
Ideally, instances should be able to communicate with each other via different transports and switch automatically if one of them fails.
