What would thorough interoperability of username systems look like? I want to be able to @mention people across multiple networks. And I want this to be accessible to non nerds. From the atmosphere I want to be able to mention @[email protected] and from the fediverse @example.tld

This should be possible with robust bridges in place, or from platforms like @[email protected] that support both protocols.

what about updating the webfinger protocol to support DIDs and atmosphere handles on a protocol leval so that this would work without clients or server implementations having to do anything special.

And the other way around, how would getting the atmosphere to natively understand webfinger names and at least autolink them to their URL counterparts

And while we're at it we should support matrix handles too @name:example.tld

@wake.st

Didn't the #Spritely institute recently give further follow-up on the original paper around petname systems that @cwebber published years ago for the Web of Trust initiative? I find petnames to be very appealing myself, and should really catch up on the latest when I have time.

@smallcircles @cwebber check out our whitepaper! https://files.spritely.institute/papers/petnames.html
Petnames: A humane approach to secure, decentralized naming

How would you figure that would address this specific issue? Moving both the fediverse and the atmosphere to a pet name system instead?

@wake.st @cwebber I am not sure for the case you are investigating, provided just my FYI. Other than that I am mulling petnames for Protosocial protocol, but that is personal hobby project atm, and mostly on pause rn.
