DNS is a good decentralized system, but it isn't "strong form decentralized" in the same way that Ethereum is. One of the reasons we built identity on Ethereum instead of the web.

I used to also think this, but my view evolved this year as I watched it play out on Bluesky. Allowing DNS for names can act as a good trust signal for some domains. eg. seeing @sanders.senate.gov I know that it is Bernie because of how the .gov domain is managed. Also for a brand, they can just use their domain name.

In 2021, we were wiped off the internet during the NFT boom. Our dot cloud provider yanked us because our gateway was being abused. Took us down for 7hours. There are levels to decentralizing and the weakest point is probably DNS. Fun fact: dot cloud is owned by an Italian company. Very difficult to recover your domain when they speak Italian and you don't.

Well, as long as you've got "log in to web with emailed recovery link", you've got a pretty big DNS anchor. Maybe worth adding 2FA to that system. I know, people love sign in with email links...

The next unsolved problem remains: How do we get mainstream browsers to adopt ENS domain name resolution?
