Every time ICANN creates a new TLD civilization decays a little more and webdevelopers cheer enthusiastically.

There is a .pfizer TLD.
ICANN is like United Nations but for Territories on the Web.
But it is so INNOVATAVE. To create a new TLD requires the engineering effort of giants!
This is how we grow the economy and beat China
bruh, I think need to add a tariff to ICANN as well.🤓
TLD printer go brrrr 😅
ICANN is letting the PSL grow unchecked, and one day IDN and New gTLD will make . characters into a cash cow. Each company will have its own TLD, and each file extension will eventually become a TLD.
So does nostr become a TLD? Not ENS or HNS.
So does nostr become a TLD?
No, because they you open the entire ecosystem to DNS censorship.
Nostr can't change the status quo unless DNS and all its associated infrastructure is replaced. If you can't beat them, join them.
DNS has been seriously messed up long-time (I used to advise on ccTLD creation as a lawyer many years ago). Most of the problems are fully understood. None of the solutions ever get implimented because govt's want the 'net to remain censurable.
I think most of the reason is that the overhead of replacing these DNS-related components is greater than the overhead of replacing the DNS itself. If there is a DNS replacement, it has to be able to coexist with DNS for a long time and be ready to replace it for at least half a century. IPv6 is in this slow and painful process today.
Actually, domain keys for Secure Mail Transport = the only thing that's been implemented I can think of off the top of my head. That works.
