@liaizon I can see an open source solution already exist for each issue, why groups don't talk each other's?

@liaizon @cypherhippie what’s the best place to track your work with DIDs in the fediverse?

In the atproto world there’s an emerging extension of PLC that has a lot of promise as a far more decentralized identity ledger: https://discourse.atprotocol.community/t/didplcbft-a-decentralized-approach-to-did-plc/571?u=erlend.sh

@liaizon
As a comms guy, I wanna see #3 workshopped into a positive statement.

@jaystephens there IS an expensive market place of ideas?

@erlend @cypherhippie I think @silverpill is also working on this
