For example, for me, here are some things I wish to see (or would implement in my design) :

  • design around ease of self-hosting. A non technical user must be able to self host easily and at a very low cost.
  • Embrace content sorting and filtering algorithms, but on the client side, with optional control by the user.
  • Standardize tags on all content. So many of the different ways different platforms classify or organize content can be implemented as tags, which increases interoperability between them.
  • Abandon obsession with real-time-first implementations for use cases that don't explicitly need it.
  • Transferable user identity (between instances)
  • User identity and authentication as separate service from social network instance

Would love to hear yours!

So did has different providers so atproto uses did:plc and did:web but their are many different options and its a standard so u can get comparability with so many things ie did:pgp, did:eth, and like a million other options

DID-based identity already exists in Fediverse: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md

We currently use did:key but in theory any DID method can be used, someone even tried to use did:plc: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/3943
