@cwebber @eramdam disparate repos of content-addressed objects that are truly decentralized (up to DID schemes), gathered by relays/AppViews which do not have to be centralized (but have to be huge nodes to be useful for Bluesky's purposes of a public microblogging thing)
the web DID scheme is about as decentralized as current-world ActivityPub i guess (with the nice addition of it being easier to move some details around), and the PLC one is… a very centralized placeholder?
@Claire @eramdam the DID stuff I would like to piece apart but that is a thread of its own
I was involved in early DID standardization work. I ultimately don't think this approach to DIDs solves what it thinks it's solving, but that's for later
