So, fediverse actors (re: Mastodon, Kbin, Lemmy, Pixelfed, etc.), should we talk about Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier) now or what? Self-sovereign identity is a necessary step, if we want a coherent #fediverse, with less friction to roam around instances.
Its apparently already a solved issue in AT Protocol
@theory I don’t care what BlueSky does. The fediverse is built on top of ActivityPub. It only needs a decentralised ID solution, not changing the protocol to something developed by a corporation. Open communities and corporations have different goals. If they want to contribute, they should contribute to the fediverse, and not do “their own thing”. There’s a reason they don’t do that, and the reason is they have their own goals and interests, and those are not necessarily the same as those of the community.
