It is telling that they prioritize "vibe" over account/identity decentralization. When your premises are fundamentally flawed, you can only reach bad conclusions. 'The “DID Placeholder” method they decided to use for their global identities is nothing more than a normal old boring trusted server controlled by Bluesky that keeps track of who is who and can, at all times, decide to ban a person and deprive them from their identity'

I don't understand the intricacies of back end architecture, protocols, federation, bleepblorps, and whatnot. But from a general user standpoint "Twitter but without the constant barrage of scammers and Nazis" is a pretty pleasing product so far.
"According to their own documentation, the Bluesky people were looking for an identity system that provided global ids, key rotation and human-readable names. They must have realized that such properties are not possibly in an open and decentralized system" They don't know about urbit ;) The closest thing to a solution for all problems listed.
