@MikeBeas (Also also I'm not beating up on them for not having portable identity figured out with only a quasi-functional placeholder in its stead. Last I heard it was even called something like PH for PlaceHolder, which I found pretty amusing. That's a hard problem and good luck to them getting a real version to work.)

 @MikeBeas @moira Hey, guys? Heuristics are a thing. Here's a helpful heuristic: "Tech billionaires don't build commercial entities that can work just as well without them." That's my helpful heuristic. Thank you for coming to my #HelpfulHeuristic Talk. Edit: #BlueSky  @msbellows @moira ok and what does that have to do with anything we’re talking about? we’re not talking about tech billionaires at all. @msbellows @moira No, there's not a single tech billionaire involved in Bluesky. @moira (Even if they retain control of PLC forever, all of the data is public so anyone could just mirror the data and it would be possible to point at that mirror instead of the official ledger, and nothing would be amiss) |
@moira PLC, and it's not a placeholder anymore. It's now a backronym for "Public Ledger of Credentials" and they're looking to hand it off to a web standards body so they don't control it.
