 Just read the transcript of @mike 's #DotSocial podcast with @jay.bsky.team . They cover a lot of interesting use cases -- many of them dear to my heart since (embarrassingly) approx 2004: A single identity for me on the web. Which I control and can self-host or move to different hosts. From where I can engage the world and the world can engage with me. No walled gardens. Lots of new use cases. It's a bit harder than they make it out to be. But I obviously agree with the vision. 4 comments
 @j12t @mike @jay.bsky.team What do you think of Solid by @timbl ? Seems like that could solve the single identity issue. @ricmac Solid has its own problems, irrespective of identity -- I don't know many developers who'd say "if I just had a standard way of doing HTTP requests to and from RDF files my life would be so much better." But on a high level, all of these efforts are adressing different parts of what should be the same elephant. The trouble is nobody so far has assembled the elephant in a viable way.  |

Surprisingly, though, not one question about the #Bluesky business model, which in many ways is the big elephant question in the room.
