So I watched Jay's interview at SXSW. First off, great quote, it reminds me a lot of Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium is the Message": "I think that society starts to reflect the structure of its dominant form of communication...and so you need communications infrastructure that is democratic and gives people a choice, lets people intervene and change it to suit their own needs and preferences. And so building open networks, I think, is very critical to the problems we face in the world. If you have an open network, then you have a form of communication that people can modify and make their own." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7OwcXCE5Rg

But I think the claim that they've built "portable identity" rings a bit hollow. Currently >99% of the network uses did:plc (Public Ledger of Credentials) which is their internal, permissioned blockchain, where they own all the user keys. I assume that eventually, they will open this up and let the users' rotate their keys, but the training wheels are still on at this point.

I thought you could already change your rotation keys even if they're on bsky.social? You definitely can if you migrate off it, or make your account yourself. The part there's no concrete plan to fix is that they control the timestamping of updates. So even if you migrate off them, they could reorg to take you back..
