I think DIDs[0] are an interesting idea for dealing with the problem of centralized registration in federated systems.
It would be great to be able to create one identity that if I want to leave an instance and bring all my data with me to a new instance I can do so without friction. That's currently a big issue I have with Matrix for example -- there's no way for me to go from @user:matrix.org to @user:myowndomain.com and have that be the same identity with the same friends list, etc.

- Arathorn 3y agoWe’re currently working on account portability (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4014 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/401...) and experimenting with glueing bluesky style DIDs onto it (so as to provide DMs for bluesky via Matrix, should they want them)
- conor- 3y agoAh, as usual if there's a complaint there's an open spec proposal for it. Thanks for sharing!
