i wrote about what the fediverse can learn from bsky's proposal for User Intents. Fediverse is a network of many independent communities, each with their own values and culture, and it should use that to its advantage.

Fediverse Report – #109
An essay on user preferences, and how the fediverse's interconnected network of communities can play into that, as well as some other news.
overall, i much prefer atproto's system of having a single identity for the network. i count 23 different fedi accounts in my password manager, and i dont think thats great design actually
but many accounts/communities does have some advantages, and i think this is one of them
which makes it all the more frustrating that fedi does not seem particularly interested on acting on it. instead they're happy to let mastodon set default values for all servers, and not even giving server admins the option to set different defaults
@laurenshof.online I'd like to have one (or more, my choice) identity across servers/instances, but I don't want this to be tied to any specific provider (the way Bluesky seems to) I want to be able to migrate my identity from one provider to another (or host it myself)
@Downes @laurenshof.online You can do that with atproto
@ekana @laurenshof.online @xanlopez.xyz I figured this would be the response. I know about PDRs. But I haven't seen a mechanism for generating IDs that isn't hosted by Bluesky itself. Perhaps you could show me?
