We can't have meaningful decentralization when identity is tightly coupled with a specific always online server accessible on the internet. Even if you self host (which most won't).
@mauve agreed..an alternative to paid DNS would be nice, because all my selfhosted decentralized magic (email/subdomains) depend on a bankaccount ☹️
@lvk I'm an eternal proponent of non human readable cryptographic keys and social graph based name search and verification. 😅
