@j12t wasn’t that the original point of OAuth, to use your blog ID, with a definitive home at whatever domain hosts your blog, to authenticate to anyone else’s blog to comment and whatnot? That’s better, but still has the vulnerability that if your blog host goes out of business you lose that identity. The Named-Content-Networking people figured out host-independent identities a decade or two ago; I’d prefer a system with something similar, not sure if ActivityPub could adopt it

@j12t it’s also a container for your identity as a user. Under B, you’re not just a member of a community, you wear that label everywhere you go.

But any “should” question is a matter of opinion, and people who want different usage patterns will have different answers.

I think that’s why I don’t think about what “The Fediverse”, constrained by the limits of ActivityPub should be, but about how a future system could provide better support for more usage patterns in a unified way
