nip05 badges are probably a mistake. One of the most common questions I get is “how do I get verified” and “please verify me”. Very rarely will nip05 badges mean anything close to verification. Maybe for rare cases like mine where my domain is the same as my username, but most of the time it just means “some random domain points to my pubkey”.
Thinking I should remove the badge altogether.
