@rauschma domain names are centralised only to the extent that the domain name system is centralised – which is to say, hardly at all. There are only a few well known root name servers, it's true – but actually the system could do without them; and the rest of the system is entirely decentralised.

@simon_brooke Again, I agree! Improvements I’d love to see:
1. Identity separate from servers. I’d be fine with those identities being domain names.
2. Posts could also have server-independent IDs

Both would help with moving between servers. #1 seems easy. Not sure how difficult #2 would be.
