Good topic for Nostr, the DNS-itch is real here. Pretty much agree here. But this all does hinge a fair amount on: >which situation you were really in where you had no other choice but to ask someone to memorize your domain name? It's barely an edge case imo. I wonder if such situations are indeed barely edge cases? I think its worth stress testing this question, chase out situations where you really don't have another choice, or you do but that other choice is so awkward that in your mind you may as well not have it, and see what emerges. Is it folly to sweep all these under the edge-case rug or is it fair? I suspect though that even for situations that do emerge there are ways of dismissing them by introducing new norms, habits and so on; meaning the feeling that you didn't have a choice was a real feeling, and has to be taken seriously, but it was as a result of cultural conditioning and not some law of physics. Useful exercise though.
