    Finding could also mean letting users share hosting responsibilities. Like making fediverse similar to torrenting.

      Interesting idea. I don’t know if we have a robust enough infrastructure for that right now, but it’s conceptually interesting.

          For sure, though at some point you still hit the centralization of DNS. There are distributed DNS resolvers, but you’re still going to be a little bit beholden to domain name authorities. So with that backstop as a given, sometimes it’s better to just live with the hosting company but be as platform-agnostic as possible so that you can jump ship to another one if needed—unless you’re willing to go full TOR, I suppose.

      At first I thought you meant pitching in for the cost, but you mean more like lending cpu cycles or memory.
