It's (un)amusing how the Fediverse of all things still depends on a system of identity that relies on forcing trust on a third party that can take that identity from you at any point and without recourse (within that system). Or, you know, you can "forget to drink your internet identity verification can for the commercial god", which is just as (un)funny.

Digital trust is a really complicated thing. DNS sure beats most of the alternative I can think of.
