I have always felt identity, including online such as domain names, should be decentralized — it’s too much power for a central authority to dictate who gets (and doesn’t get) a name. Further, it’s too easy for people to impersonate others online. It even happened at reddit where the CEO masqueraded as users by modifying their comments [1]. Handshake [2] is a great project that helps decentralize online identity. Not only is naming distribution in the hands of the people with Handshake which ends the deplatforming/censorship debacle the world has been facing recently, but also, anything a name does can be verified with signatures verifiable against the blockchain.
