I’d also call out that activitypub has the same threat model in the form of ICANN, as it’s also heavily dependent on DNS for identity. I believe these are reasonable trades to make; realistically the alternative is to use a blockchain, which few people are keen to do.
- inigyou 3mo agoATProto has both PLC and ICANN ICANN is a severe risk btw. Current new protocols should be designed to avoid DNS wherever possible.
- RobotToaster 3mo agoOr use multiple alternative DNS roots like OpenNIC.
- inigyou 3mo agoNobody does, and ICANN can take away your OpenNIC TLD by registering the same one, forcing OpenNIC to copy the registration.
- kuschku 3mo agoNot necessarily – there are some activitypub instances without hostname, directly on IP addresses, and there are even some running in private DNS roots.
