RFC 8890 – The Internet is for End Users (2020) | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion on RFC 8890 debated who really counts as an “end user” on a home network.

Commenters said devices are often controlled by vendors and centralized services, not by the homeowner.

Technologies like DoH and other encrypted DNS setups can make it harder to inspect or block traffic locally.

The broader concern is that centralization reduces privacy, ad-blocking options, and user autonomy over networked devices.
