General discussions about "science" itself
Be sure to also check out these other Fediverse science communities:
When infrastructure is too centralized, gatekeepers gain new powers to capture, enshittify, and censor. The result is a system that becomes less useful, less stable, and with more costs put on access. Science thrives on sharing and access equity, and its future depends on a global and democratic revolt against predatory centralized platforms.
Amen to that.
I often talk about how I would like to see clubs and groups and orgs host their own federation instances and just have communities around what they do. This makes even more sense with universities. Everything should get published to the fediverse. Heck every lab should have its own community and only allow posts from members of the lab and moderate it.
Sure. Let me know when science use a decentralized protocol. IANA is centralized.
Agreed. I'm not sure what the links here are trying to say or do. It kinda seems like they're just saying a lot of nothing while ignoring solutions like nostr
nostr uses TCP&IP, which is still centralized addressing.
Not sure what you mean. You can use nostr entirely with Tor, which is still somewhat centralized but that's not nostr's fault / should be improved in the near ish future hopefully
Here’s an alpha.
True decentralization requires decentralized addressal on decentralized designed.
Curious to know more but not much time right now. Will read and reply if you want to tell me more
Take your time then. I’m saying the internet as you know it is centralized by design. CICN isn't. Science needs to use decentralized designs.
