ugh this kind of stuff just makes me wish DNS was less centralized, even though it's already incredibly uncentralized.. of course it's just all registrars just being a weak point.. as always

>>ailuro+G
It is as decentralized as you can get. Dns is the entire foundation of decentralization, any more and you get into schizo hyperprivacy protocols.

>>TZubir+f3
The network is decentralized, but each domain still has a single registrar, making the service you (domain owner) receive very centralized. If that one registrar misbehaves or is unresponsive, you're out of luck.

>>remram+Ss1
You can switch registrars if you want.

>>TZubir+0C1
This requires cooperation from your current registrar, and involves the registry operator for your TLD which is again a single entity.

>>remram+Lb2
You are consistently objectively wrong on the facts. So your subjective take that dns is decentralized is again wrong.

You can choose different TLDs. Don't like VeriSign's .com? Go with a country tld or make your own tld. Also tld are regulated it isn't even an independent private entity.

Finally switching registrars does NOT require cooperation of the losing registrar, but of the upstream DNS.

The sane take is just don't chose a meme registrar from a bullshit country just because it sounds like something else.
