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.
@mikedev that's definitely the BlueSky folks talking about why the AT Protocol is advantageous.
Yes, they were mostly talking about Mastodon, but their blog post did seem to hide the fact that anything ActivityPub enriched with other protocols will most certainly empower nomadic identity.
, nomadic identity, the Zot protocol, Red/the Red Matrix or Hubzilla, much less of the Nomad protocol or the streams repository. This is actually rather believable because next to nobody outside the bubble around Mike's creations knows about them.Or, worse yet, they have caught wind of them. But nonetheless, they want to pose as the inventors of a revolutionary, ground-breaking innovation in social networking that has never been done before. You know, like Microsoft invented gloss and transparency effects in operating systems. Never would they admit that a competitor had done it before. And that whoever has done it before is even competition.
And since mass media, tech media, tech bloggers etc. have never heard of Mike's works, just like they've never heard of Compiz and often not even of Linux back in the 2000s, they will all just believe and regurgitate it.
