So Matrix also has account portability (almost) - https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/kegan/pseudo-ids/proposals/4014-pseudonymous-identities.md https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/keg... and https://github.com/devonh/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/cryptoIDs/proposals/4080-cryptographic-identities.md https://github.com/devonh/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/cryptoI..., implemented in Dendrite. Unfortunately dev is paused on it currently thanks to lack of $ though.
The AP approach (prioritising portable identities over portable account data) is cute though, and perhaps we should have prioritised that as an alternative to fullblown cryptographic IDs & account portability.
- steveklabnik 3y agoThanks for the context! I use Matrix daily, so I am interested in these details, I just haven't found the time to dig into things yet.
- Ericson2314 3y agoThe ideal situation is that BlueSky and Matrix (/Element, let's be real) are giving hoards of money and are dancing around each other in a daring game of adversarial interop. I want a Cold War-scale federation competition, dammit! :)
- Arathorn 3y agoI would love both BlueSky & Matrix (and/or Element) to be given hoards of money and for us to race each other to the best federation imaginable (and then bridge it all together and live happily ever after)
