@nicd haha, my NIH was the authentication with verifiable credentials (without blockchain) because identity providers just don't make sense as a concept.
Then I was thinking about whether or not to support VC standard strictly and DID at all, and erred on the side of "nope". For the reason of "ain't nobody got time for that".
@jonn True! I've been playing around with a little self-hosted social media codebase of my own, but in true NIH fashion I thought of my own protocol and not ActivityPub. Now I wonder if I should make it support ActivityPub and how big of an undertaking it would be.
