@jonny @ewjoachim there is still a lot to be desired here but the promise *is* starting to manifest at the edges, and it's nice to see there's a practical deployment of this now. (Sort of. My understanding is that while this gets you off of *a lot* of bluesky infrastructure, your feet are still pretty well nailed to the floor by the ultimate did:plc: resolution service)
Irenes (many)@glyph @jonny @ewjoachim sigh don't get us started on did:plc. it was the thing we flagged in our write-up like four years ago and... sigh
the esoteric programmer@ireneista @glyph @jonny @ewjoachim not only the did:plc stuff, although that's obviously an issue. It's not quite decentralised yet, dk if it'll be even as decentralised as mastodon, although technically it could be more judging by their content hash and signature based protocol. Anyway, here are afew links about this stuff. First, a quite recent fedi thread:
https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115204933163360398
Then, stuff like this:
https://www.mediaactivist.com/bluesky-vision/
There could be good things coming out of this, but I wouldn't really hold my breath. Tbh, I wish the fedi would become better, both from a software and social point of view, aka the racism problems and much more, so we wouldn't have to keep hopping from incompatible protocol to crypto or billionaire owned incompatible protocol forever, thinking that for sure, it'll be better this time round.
@esoteric_programmer @glyph @jonny @ewjoachim yes, mcc's investigations in particular have been quite useful to us
