There are a lot of valid ways one could criticize BlueSky and the AT-Protocol.

But some of what the author of that thread is saying is inaccurate.

...

For example, did:plc does NOT seem to use crypto at all.

...

If you wanted to validly criticize did:plc you could point out that to resolve a did:plc you have to use the CENTRALIZED website https://plc.directory/

Also, the author's comment about "did:plc [being] shittier DNS" is bizarre.

You could make the same comment about ActivityPub IDs turned into acct-URI and resolved using WebFinger.

If the former is "shittier DNS" then the latter is also "shittier DNS".

...

But one should note that there are valid reasons for not wanting to use DNS — both technical and UX.
