Why are getalby lightning addresses not working anymore?

I suspect it might be a DNS issue. That's what happened to Mutiny. I can still send. That's pretty decent for censorship resistance.
Well, I’m confused. I thought that running Alby hub on my own server would make things more resilient.
It is, but domain names are still a single point-of-failure. Satoshi tried fixing this problem using Namecoin. It was a failed experiment, the first shitcoin, but the problem was not solved.
I hope pubkey fixes this, but I haven't studied the protocol enough to know.
I can still use lightning on getalby the old fadhined way.

Lightning addresses just make it closer to tue Venmo experience.
Lots of problems with custodial Lightning Wallets atm...
