@SorteKanin@feddit.dk my biggest worry is that his Solid POD has been coming from about 2016 in design and was funded 2021 or so, and I remember it being announced in 2022 or so. In today’s world, that is pretty slow-going. It seemed to always be imminent. I even registered a POD back in 2022… and then nothing still after two years. So many other decentralised protocols have been adopted since then.
Admittedly we do have an urgent need for one’s own POD identity no matter where you are on social networks, but I still don’t see how we’re going to get ActivityPub, Nostr, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc to all adopt it.
@General_Effort@lemmy.world it’s about retaining a single identity for yourself, and one which you control and link to where you are using it vs a unique profile at every different social network.

Yeah. It’s an interesting concept, but I can’t see why anyone would want to use it.
