   @af2 @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss that is pointless and retarded
   no one is going to type in all that shit, big tech can easily block links from being shared, and literally the only visitors you'll ever get are chinese spam bots and cats who've walked across an unattended keyboard

     @skylar @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss 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.

     @af2 @ArdainianRight @DemonSixOne @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss that sounds incredibly autistic
     things DO need to be readable and memorable, or there's no fucking point to the the whole idea of resolving a name to an IP address

     @skylar @af2 @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss The pubkey all the things people remind me of the folks that used to obsess over pgp signing all their messages on usenet, often with a signature stanza that was longer than their message.
     
     The purpose of name service is to translate human readable names into machine readable addresses. We dont call foxgirls "c1b04ae006f580ee74da216e341ea5d7226a263bb9e451ab9f04ebc0b89eb2ced2cbfa466f0b9fc8d8300d83d33fb321fbdadc50125eb61b6dffe9b77fa50b14" because humans are not machines.

     @DemonSixOne @skylar @ArdainianRight @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @Hoss 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".
