@Ben Werdmuller What Bluesky is planning to do with the AT protocol looks like nomadic identity as ordered from Temu.

And nomadic identity is not a vague concept. It isn't futuristic technology either. It has been reality in the Fediverse for longer than Mastodon has been around. It was invented by @Mike Macgirvin ?️ in 2011 and then implemented in his own Zot protocol. Zot, in turn, was first implemented in 2012 in a project named Red, later the Red Matrix, known since 2015 as Hubzilla. And almost everything that Mike has made after Hubzilla had or still has nomadic identity implemented.

I'm writing to you from Hubzilla right now, so yes, it's very much part of the Fediverse. It's a rock-solid daily driver with a stable release (9.4.3).

Nomadic identity does not do away with a domain being part of your ID. What it does away with is the connection between account and identity and the connection between server and identity.

Nomadic identity means that your identity with everything that belongs to it (profile, posts, comments, DMs, connections, files, settings etc. etc. pp.) is no longer bound to any one Fediverse server. It can exist on multiple servers simultaneously. Not as dumb copies, but as clones. Bidirectional, live, hot backups in near-real-time.

Your identity always has one main instance which also lends the domain name. In addition, it can have one or multiple copies on different servers of your choice. Your accounts only serve to grant you access to the instances of your identity on a specific server. The main instance and the clones are constantly sync'd against each other in both directions. For example, after I've sent this comment, it was mirrored over to my clone.

Notice how I've written "bidirectional". For I can also log into my clone and use it just the same as my main instance. This is useful for when the server with my main instance on it is offline. When it comes back online, everything that has happened on my clone in the meantime is being sync'd to the main instance.

Granted, Mastodon and most of the rest of the Fediverse don't understand nomadic identity. When I post from my clone, they take my clone as an independent account with the ID jupiter_rowland@hub.hubzilla.de. But Hubzilla and (streams) do understand nomadic identity. Whatever comes from my clone, they'll correctly identify as being sent by jupter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu in spite of not coming from hub.netzgemeinde.eu.

Even "moving instances" is greatly facilitated. For example, if the server with the main instance of my channel shuts down permanently, I can make my clone my new main instance. That's easy-peasy: two mouse clicks and some 15 minutes of letting things settle, also because Hubzilla will have to go around and change all my connections from jupiter_rowland@hub.netzgemeinde.eu to jupiter_rowland@hub.hubzilla.de. On the remote side, on people's Hubzilla and (streams) servers.

You've read that right: If you move, nomadic identity makes your nomadic followers automatically follow you at your new home. What's beyond science-fiction on Mastodon has been daily-driven reality on Hubzilla since its inception in 2015.

While nomadic identity currently only has stable support via Mike's Zot and Nomad protocols and on Hubzilla and (streams), its implementation using only ActivityPub has been in the making since last year.

@Strypey A few more details:

* FEP-ef61: Portable Objects

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md

Invented in, I think, 2023 by @silverpill for Mitra (based on ActivityPub). Currently implemented there and in @Mike Macgirvin ?️'s streams repository and Forte. Part of the plan to introduce almost Nomad-level, but cross-project nomadic identity to ActivityPub.

* FEP-61cf: The OpenWebAuth Protocol

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/61cf/fep-61cf.md

Invented in 2018 by Mike Macgirvin for Zap (Zot6 development platform; discontinued 2022). Backported to Hubzilla in 2020. Full server-side and client-side implementation only in Hubzilla (based on Zot6, also supports ActivityPub etc.), (streams) (based on Nomad, also supports Zot6 and ActivityPub) and Forte (based on ActivityPub). Friendica has a client-side implementation. Mastodon has a client-side implementation pull request that has to be merged eventually.

@Clairement crevée @Juanro :croqueta: @Mastodon Engineering AFAIK, there are only three implementations of FEP-ef61. I'd call two of them barely not experimental anymore at best, and the third one, the only one that actually seems to rely on it because it places all bets on nomadic identity via ActivityPub, is not really open to the public yet.

FEP-ef61 itself seems to be finalised (don't take my word for it), but getting it to work is anything but easy (intentionally left the DID in the link). So it may be better to watch the other implementations for a while.

This thread is well worth reading. It's about the #W3C standard DID: "Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralized digital identity.". The take away: We already had a solution for Decentralized identifiers but … #NIH.

My #Hubzilla had this (here it is called "Nomadic Identity") and it rescued my fediverse identity.

It starts with this posting:

#^glyn (@underlap@fosstodon.org)

What would it take to add decentralised identity (e.g. W3C DIDs) to the Fediverse? Who is already working on this?

Bluesky's AT Protocol is a great proof of concept, but probably isn't the endgame. Abstracting Fediverse identity using hostnames and WebFinger is another useful experiment, but again probably not the endgame.

The Folks from #Hubzilla are stepping in and explain, that this problem was already solved even before #ActivityPub existed:

#^Jupiter Rowland

@glyn Decentralised identity has been available for longer than Mastodon, let alone ActivityPub. Only that it is known as "nomadic identity" here.

It was first implemented by Friendica creator @Mike Macgirvin Macgirvin ?️ in the Zot protocol in 2011 and in a Friendica fork named Red in 2012, later renamed into the Red Matrix, eventually reworked and renamed into Hubzilla in 2015.

Proof: This Hubzilla channel of mine actually simultaneously resides on two servers.

(Almost) everything that Mike has made afterwards, forks and forks of forks of Hubzilla, used to have or still have nomadic identity implemented.

His streams repository contains a fork of a fork... of Hubzilla that intentionally has no name, and that offers nomadic identity via the Nomad protocol with better compatibility with non-nomadic ActivityPub. In July, it had decentralised IDs as per FEP-ef61 (see also here) implemented, a first step by Mike to fully implement nomadic identity in ActivityPub.

Forte, Mike's most recent fork from August, had all support for Nomad and Zot6 removed and only uses ActivityPub anymore while still offering nomadic identity. To my best knowledge, however, it has yet to be declared stable enough to be daily-driven, and it has no public instances.

Other than all this, a non-public development version of @silverpill's Mitra has nomadic identity via ActivityPub in development. I'm not sure whether FEP-ef61 is implemented in the release version yet. It's the only Fediverse project aiming to implement nomadic identity which Mike Macgirvin has nothing directly to do with.

The ultimate goal is to be able to clone a Fediverse identity across project borders. Only considering stable releases, it's currently only possible to clone Hubzilla channels within Hubzilla, using Zot6, or (streams) channels within (streams), using Nomad.

Unfortunately, Mike has officially retired from Fediverse development and only occasionally submits code to the streams repository and Forte anymore.

Identity is very large and amorphous! Holochain’s latest blog delves into my chat with Kim Hamilton Duffy, Exec. Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation on how digital identities have evolved beyond usernames and passwords to encompass a vast array of personal data points. https://blog.holochain.org/privacy-security-and-convenience-in-digital-identity/?utm_source=Mary&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=privacy-security-and-convenience-in-digital-identity

#HolochainWednesday #HolochainChats #DID #DecentralizedIdentity

Claims and credentials are a big part of digital identity. I had the pleasure of speaking with Kim Hamilton Duffy, Executive Director of the Decentralized Identity Foundation, about the power of verifiable credential specifications. Many different implementations of this one standard can help to address various forms of fraud that currently are costly and difficult to investigate.
