I believe this is possible with ActivityPub already, and the servers just need to start making a distinction between the identities from its users and the "federation": https://mastodon.communick.com/@raphael/106825107786781891 https://mastodon.communick.com/@raphael/106825107786781891
- pat2man 5y agoIts interesting that DNS doesn't come up more often as the solution here. Owning a domain (or subdomain) seems a whole lot easier than most of the other "decentralized" solutions that get discussed. And if DNS is too centralized for you then something like ENS can replace it without needing very many changes to the rest of the stack.
- rglullis 5y agoExactly. That's the approach defended and promoted by the indieweb thinking heads: start with identity and structure things bottom-up. Machines are quite good at translating between the different protocols. If I want to publish my content using RSS and you want to consume it using ActivityPub, it is easy to write software that makes the bridge, provided your identity doesn't change.
