Personal domain names are an essential part of any decentralized identity on today’s internet. They were super common in the blogging era and I expect things like Bluesky will help that be the case again.

Classify e-kick-scooters as bicycles or ebikes and move on. This isn’t a hard policy decision.

Using a domain handle *is* the verification scheme 🙂

Hardly fair to call DNS centralized.

I’m not sure something without message passing is federation. To me federation means you look up the service provider based on the address and send messages there.
