- jazzyjackson 1y agoDidn’t they just adopt DNS? I mean I guess you have a DID people can follow ( tho afaik there’s no other identity server for resolving DIDs besides bsky app), but the way to tell that someone is who you think they are is their handle being connected to their domain
- johnecheck 1y agodid:web (DNS) is just one option for identity. did:plc is what you want, it's not reliant on ICANN or BlueSky. Any PDS should be able to resolve a did:web or did:plc. https://atproto.com/specs/did https://atproto.com/specs/did
- ItsHarper 1y agodid:plc is currently centralized, it's 100% reliant on Bluesky. Lookups have to be done at https://plc.directory/ https://plc.directory/
- johnecheck 1y agoApologies, I was mistaken. I'd confused the self-certifying bit with decentralization. did:plc relies on trusting a central server to accept all valid events and not allow users to rewrite their history.
