Web3, DeFi, and DAO aren't dead.

They're still thriving.

The whole idea of BlueSky supporting nomadic identities but the rest of the ActivityPub (plus other stuff) Fediverse being unable to do so is such an oversold idea.

A new service using ActivityPub behind the scenes (and not the AT Protocol) can absolutely support nomadic identities, even if the service doesn't treat a whole website as the actor.

It will still use did:plc, same as AT Protocol (BlueSky), but once done so, an application that understands how to work with did:plc can dereference an actor based on the DID.

That said, an existing service will simply not be compatible with this idea, without changing how it operates.

I've seen Fediverse instances that have only ONE user signed up for it get hugged to death whenever a high-profile Fediverse account—more than 10K followers—boosts their post.

I say, efforts to make Twitter-scale Fediverse software is a huge win in my book.

It should lower the cost of operating a Fediverse instance, especially for single-profile users.

(I'm screenshotting because Mastodon still doesn't have quoted boosts!)
