> our friends at Bluesky announced their application protocol for building decentralised social media called AT. While not based on Matrix, there are some parallels, and some stuff we may be able to get inspiration from around portable identity :) https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/10-18-2022-the-at-protocol https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/10-18-2022-the-at-protocol
Sounds like some there are some parallels, and the protocol might inspire portable account identities in Matrix!
The only account migration tool I know of at the moment is proprietary [1], I'd love to see portable identity in Matrix come to life.

Well, fortunately Matrix is working on adding OpenID Connect support[0], so I guess the answer will soon be "Matrix identities are as portable as OIDC identities". Unfortunately, however, that means "not very portable" in practice, but the OIDC people at least recognise that fact and are apparently working to fix it with an extension called SIOP (Self-Issued OpenID Provider).[1] [0] https://areweoidcyet.com/ https://areweoidcyet.com/ [1] https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.html https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-self-issued-v2-1_0.h...
