on the one hand, ux is good yes ok. but also path of absolute least resistance is how the web condensed into three fucking websites. you think it's too complicated that you have to pick the equivalent of an email provider? you would've starved in the jungle of the 90s internet

So what happens if everyone can't go to Mastodon? Or to cohost? Or to whatever? What happens is a fractionalization, a balkanization, where instead of 1 big cohort you get a dozen or a hundred or a thousand smaller ones. Which: scales better. Which: is more healthy.

And that has it's own difficulties: it's not as universal, it's not as one-stop, you have to go find your own place instead of going to The One Place Where Everything Is. But for most of human history that's how it's worked, and centralizing it hasn't actually gone great!

I'm paying a company to run an instance for me

I 💯 agree Mastodon would be better if you could bring your own domain without running your own instance. I don't think that's technically infeasible but it looks like no-one has built a Mastodon server with virtual host support yet

They're not quite as easy as setting up a CNAME, but there are two options for that:

Make the net weird again. Hand write sites like it’s the 90s. Pick interesting domain names and make fan sites or random knowledge known to everyone. Don’t monetize anything. Spearhead new protocols like Gemini. Make mods for games on your site. Make FAQs for obscure games no one knows about. Make public software services available to anyone. Make a news site about a really random subject. Create music in all kinds of different formats. Most of all, do it because you want to!

Great! @aaronpk would probably know more about the state of things here.

Mastodon actually uses rel=me to show a "verified" badge on links on your profile!

This is also definitely in line with RelMeAuth, and what I implemented on https://indielogin.com, but as an authentication service, not just informational.

JOSE supports authenticity and intention, and is used to power most consumer and enterprise identity. 44% of all websites rely on JSON-LD. Both problems have been solved independently. W3C Verifiable Credentials leverage the best solutions for both problems.

That's quite a claim. Are you talking about the JSON-LD that Google recommends people publish for their rich snippets and such? Because I guarantee you about 99.9% of that is treating it as plain JSON.

https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/da-jsonld

yeah my point stands. The vast majority of publishers publishing JSON-LD on their websites for Google to consume care approximately 0% about the LD part of the JSON-LD, and frankly care about 1% about the JSON part. They just want Google to read the website.

Your point is it's easy to adopt JSON-LD without understanding its value, and a lot of people have done this?... Are you saying it's a bad thing people adopt things they don't understand? If you're are at IETF let's chat IRL.

I'm saying the LD is irrelevant when most publishers and consumers are ignoring it. It's great the JSON-LD looks mostly like JSON, but IMO the LD part adds very little value.

fwiw I was able to implement vaccine QR code VCs without dealing with the LD part too!

I mean, you don't have to convince me of decentralization and openness. I'm not even tweeting this on twitter, it's coming from my own website, one of many decentralized nodes on the internet.

You can implement many "token" schemes without using JSON-LD... If we're really just talking about rebranding tokens to credentials to appeal to a broader base, you don't need a standard to do that imo... You need a marketing department :)

They took all the good parts of Verifiable Credentials and turned it into the SmartHealth spec! https://spec.smarthealth.cards Notice you never need to bring in any JSON-LD library or deal with namespaces or canonicalization, yet it's completely decentralized!

I reviewed the spec, imo it's a custom JWT format squatting on the branding and work of the W3C... That doesn't mean it's not a great solution to the use case though... It relies on HL7/FHIR for semantics... So it doesn't really need any extensibility model.

yeah I guess that's one way to put it.

Back to the original point though, I would argue that 99.9% of of those examples in the crawl also do not rely on the extensibility model of JSON-LD.
