Domain name registrars are still the most relevant and critical centralized component of the Internet.

I'm surprised that we have not been able to transition to a more decentralized, distributed, or federated system.

Despite various attempts, nothing has been able to gain significant traction. (I still remember the excitement of using Namecoin to set up a .bit domain that no one visited ...)

Perhaps this is an area where Nostr could play a role?

👆so much this 👆

(also that many projects choose github over any git alternatives 🤷)

GNS never took off either https://www.gnunet.org/en/gns.html

The only one gaining traction seems to be tor .onion adresses. but how decentralized is that is unclear to me.
