Ask HN: What are some examples of “decentralized discoverability?”
While the web itself is built on a series of decentralized protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, DNS), discoverability is still centralized on platforms like Google Search, Twitter, YouTube, etc...
Even web3 stuff relies on centralized indexes/marketplaces like OpenSea.
The idea of mirroring an index (Pirate Bay), or having a distributed database (DNS), is fascinating to me.
These are the examples I can think of:
DNS
UseNet
FidoNet
PirateBay
Mastadon
Any others?
What could "decentralized discoverability" look like for content?
