How can open social protocols fail us? I put together an analysis comparing several specific failure modes between Farcaster, Bluesky, and Mastodon. Please let me know if any of the protocol descriptions could be presented more fairly! https://shazow.net/posts/open-social-2025/

good article! my understanding here is that if the PLC decides to delete your DID keys you lose the ability to update your identity. there is some promise to decentralize it in the future, but it hasn't been executed yet. is this incorrect?

Great read, small typo `shazow.bsky.socialf` What is your recommendation for people who are looking to invest / commit to an open social protocol -- which would you recommend (could be more than one), and where would you deploy resources to improve that protocol?

nice write up Is the PLC sovereign right now? I thought it was placeholder / controlled by the core team.

I would be curious how you would describe it through the lense of gravitropic topologies. https://protocol-particles.github.io/Phenomena/Gravitropy/
