 DNS is more decentralized than Nostr and IP assigning entities. Even fucking North Korea has its TLD that works 🐶🐾🤯

 "A little yes", as my old boss used to say. 

95% of the world lives outside the reach of the First Amendment, and 95% of internet users use their ISPs' regulated DNS server.

Countries like Australia and France DNS-poison as a matter of course.

1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are win, but outside our circles they are little used...

 For sure. Because there are so many resolvers out there, it’s mind boggling 🐶🐾🤯

 Good luck teaching my mum how to setup custom DNS resolver on her own.

(I've tried. And she has two university degrees, and cares about freedom.)

Nostr.build will survive a DNS takedown, like ThePirateBay did. But that's only possible with a  tech-savvy and motivated core audience.
