Of course I'm talking about did:plc, which is used by everybody except for about 12 weirdos who have set up did:web, and here you are writing a long paragraph as if did:web was this very obvious thing that all Bluesky users use? This is kind of a shitty argumentation move you have there.
Anyway, did:plc is the only thing that matters because you cannot migrate out of it into did:web, there is no such thing as "claim your identity". Even if it was, did:web is not decentralized anyway, it's just delegating your identity to another centralized third-party.

Fair comment on the12 weirdos, that is probably an accurate count of the current number of individual weirdos on did:web. I'm in this space for the B2B opportunities, and I'm thinking more about larger companies for whom did:web wouldn't be a heavy lift, and it could easily become a general corporate IT requirement in future. (Most of the current did:webs are probably larger companies or universities.) But just having the exit door existing isn't enough, you have to take into account the number of stairs to get to it, so okay, fair comment
And yes, fair comment on no crossing between did:web and did:plc, but again, what if in two months the did:plc directory is with some ICANN like body? Still not pkarr, but for most ownership-conscious people that'd be a perfectly okay compromise. A lot is hinging on where there directory goes and when. But they have announced it publicly, so it'd be hard to go back now.
