    domain is centralized and subject to a state power.

    is it possible to change that or any other workaround is available?

      OpenNic have been trying to fix it for a long time, but only people who use their DNS servers can access their domains.

      I use their DNS servers on philosophical grounds, but I have literally never come across someone using one of their exclusive domain names.

        From what I understand, their own domains are not actually decentralized. Each of them has it’s own “authority” that can control what is or is not allowed to be registered. Emercoin domains look more promising, but I am not knowledgeable enough about them to say that they are actually decentralized. I would say that the closest thing to fediverse is DNS system in I2P, there different DNS providers federate with each other and share their records.

      There are some projects to create decentralized DNS systems, but almost no one uses them, so if you try to use them than you limit amount of your potential users drastically.
