@Gargron Not really, but whatever floats your boat

@ntnsndr There are two DID methods that ATProto supports: did:web, that allows you to host your own DID document using a webserver and not be beholden to anyone; and did:plc, where all DID documents are hosted on a single centralised server, https://plc.directory/

@ntnsndr It's not a bug per se, it just puts you under the control of Bluesky PLC even more than otherwise.

@ntnsndr I don't really understand the point in using a supposedly decentralised system if everyone's just going to use the same identity server run by the developers.

Why do Bluesky users keep doing this (using their centralized "placeholder" DID)? It makes the system even more centralized than it would otherwise be. And it's already pretty centralised _de facto_.

@ntnsndr @axz Is it decentralised though?
I think democracy without decentralisation is toothless.

@BeAware Should have kept in touch via a messaging application maybe
