    Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.

      There are handshake domains, which are distributed on a blockchain, but sites that use them won’t resolve in browsers by default

          yah i forgor about that
          but technically you can, but with a self signed certificate only (ehich are less secure; or by asking people to set up the dns manually)
          with self signed certs you don’t lose encryption, but the client won’t be able to make sure that it’s connecting to your server specifically
