Does that mean there is a centralized identity service?

• steveklabnik 1y ago
  You have two choices of identity service: did:plc, which is, and did:web, which is not. In theory additional dids could come into existence too, those are just the two that blueksy supports at the moment.

    That’s correct. PLC is being split into an independent entity but that is ongoing: https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org https://docs.bsky.app/blog/plc-directory-org It’s worth noting that PLC can’t fake your data because each edit is recursively signed. So you can verify a chain of updates. However, PLC can in theory deny you service or ignore your updates.

      it's def not doing that right now lol, more than half the ops are adversarial and still accepted (the vast majority contain invalid contents)

        Yeah, there are tens of thousands of records referencing a PDS with a certain… controversial president's name in the hostname, which doesn't actually exist at all. Also someone from Nostr made a tool that let you upload image files and encode them (split into parts) into plc directory records…

          Oh is Nostr the other one, why do these groups feel the need to try and ruin what other people enjoy?

            Blessed are the troublemakers, for they expose your vulnerabilities
