   @datatitian Something like this? https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c390.md

   >For people who own domains, this is easy: they just point the DNS records at their host and tell their host that their identity should be served from their domain.

   I think @h is working on this. I don't know all details but one part of the solution is documented here: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-612d.md

   >using DIDs as AP identifiers

   This is not necessary, we can add DIDs in a backwards compatible way: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c390.md.

   >“Doesn’t this just move the centralization point from identity resolver to the DID resolver?”

   Resolver can be self-hosted or be a node in P2P network. Some DIDs don't even need resolvers, for example did:key

   @raucao Yes, it is possible to add decentralized identity to Fediverse in a backwards compatible way. I wrote a spec for linking cryptographic keys to ActivityPub actors: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c390.md (it is based on DID and Data Integrity standards), and also implemented a simple portable identity mechanism based on this idea (it works like Mastodon's move account feature, but permission from an old server is not necessary).

   I think Bluesky team decided to re-invent the wheel because they wanted a silo where they can have greater control over users identity and data.

   Or they didn't read the ActivityPub spec. The majority of what people perceive as AP flaws are in fact Mastodon implementation details.

   @cuchaz How do you distribute public keys to other servers? I wrote a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal that attempts to standardize this: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-c390.md. There are several use cases (beyond E2EE) where this is needed, so having a standard mechanism for distributing keys is important. I'd appreciate your feedback.

   Also, burger ID looks very interesting! Finally, a key manager extension that is not tied to any cryptocurrency.
