They should be saying "glownigger" instead of the reddit-sanitized version. Same thing with "normie", "furry" etc GLOW NIGGER

tor solved this with onion addresses. Brave even as native tor support these days.

That's not your brand, just like your street address isn't your brand. The sign on your door is your brand, not the nerd shit in your URL bar. We let them censor us and curse us with the shitty insecure DNS system in the name of "oh look, it says Nike in the url bar too!"

The point is that with so many TLDs they aren't memorable. Domain squatters frequently make use of this inability remember if it's .com or .net, forcing site owners to pay for a whole bunch of similar domains to protect their brand because ICANN thought we needed .barefoot and .fail. The point of having a domain name over a bare IP is that IPs frequently change (new host/dc, CDN etc) while domain names should remain static. In today's DNS system, that's ALL they are good for.

Readability is overrated, we have too many TLDs (.com, .me, .pride) so anyone trying to remember which it is will just use google anyway to look it up. Expecting people to remember domain names is very silly, and we gave up SO MUCH in pursuit of "readability".

think of tor onion addresses, where the "name" is just a public key (6x7g7rr6fhdoszolkqkaittdr6qzgejjxoc42q4ceaph2xttmo5vgryd.onion) that is then used to connect securely to the web server. It means we can get rid of DNS and PKI at the same time.

ENS was always stupid because having names be human readable is a pointless goal and it has the same problem with squatters that DNS has. Making a digital resource scarce (only so many one letter domains available) isn't what we should want for next-gen DNS.

when are we starting our own domain registrar? I'll make the logo
