I will not use LN addresses, as they are centralized via the domain name system. By using LN addresses, I am giving authority to the domain name system, which is controlled by the state, to allow me to continue to receive funds. Domain names are state-issued identities and state-issued identities are immoral. I don’t wish to involve them in any way in any financial transaction.
If I can avoid referencing a domain name, IP address, or create any kind of other surveillable and censorable side channel to a php script on somebody's webserver, that would be fucking great.

Did you just describe ?
But yeah I wonder why people haven’t tried stuffing namecoin domains or something into Lightning, ICANN belongs to the man after all.
