 QuadRadical (Ping) | i asked if they are seperate identities, and they say "they are, but you can migrate to another username rather easily, and you get to keep all your stuff (messages, room memberships, etc.)" | 15:46:59 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | * well nobody else actually is making a new protocol | 15:47:17 |
 Charles | i think they have not thought about the problem very hard then | 15:47:20 |
| Charles | or they have actual magic | 15:47:35 |
 K900 | https://polyproto.org/docs/protocols/core#71-identity-migration | 15:47:44 |
| K900 | They're doing the bluesky thing | 15:47:48 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i mean olivia is in the discord too so i would assume they would have also thought of these same problems that matrix had | 15:47:49 |
| K900 | Where you basically just tombstone your old account | 15:47:54 |
| K900 | And it exists forever | 15:48:45 |
| K900 | But it's also an entirely unnecessary dance that you have to do AND you have to rotate keys everywhere AND none of this would have been a problem had the identity been tied to the actual keys | 15:49:29 |
| K900 | But good luck retrofitting that to Discord API I guess | 15:49:36 |
 @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org | I will also point out, the network effect. Part of the reason why matrix is at all usable is because it has been around for ages, its federated and a lot of people are on it. Making a new protocol, while i get the reasons, will fragment things more, require new bridges to discord and yada yada | 15:53:38 |
| @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org | So personally im not in support of new protocol efforts that much | 15:53:49 |
| @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org | But i also dont know what im talking about, got no experience with this stuff. So ill leave it to more competent people | 15:54:16 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | sure, but these bridges will come if the protocl is good | 15:55:04 |
