What is the future of identity on the social web? Could it span federation protocols and be baked into the internet itself? What could it look like to everyday users and how would it be used?

There’s no better person to ask than @jay.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy CEO of Bluesky. Jay's extensive experience and deep knowledge about the promise, products and protocols underlying the fediverse is legendary.

@mike@flipboard.social @jay.bsky.team@bsky.brid.gy What we need to begin with is for banks, schools, government offices (e.g. driving license and passport issuers) to provide basic OAuth services, if only to demonstrate that a certain person is real. It almost certainly will be a negligible cost to them.
