“Pablo, why are wikifreedia URLs so long?”
👉 That’s where the “decentralized” part comes in.
The long URL includes the relays where the entry was published. This looks annoying but no one said freedom must have nice URLs.
For what it’s worth, you can also use nice looking URLs to fetch articles from the author’s relays with a nicer looking URL like
https://wikifreedia.xyz/no-cold-war-(campagin)/6c2d79de2d469232
Or to see topics that live within a certain set of relays you can have the nicest looking URL
Isn’t it crazy that we can have both within the same protocol?
