It’s time to start implementing it and testing it out with applications of all stripes, and I invite all of you to join me in doing just that.

|
||
> IndieAuth is a spiritual successor to OpenID, developed and maintained by the IndieWeb community and based on OAuth 2. This weekend I attended IndieWebCamp East Coast and was inspired to try my hand at an imPplementation. datasette-indieauth is the result, a new plugin which enables IndieAuth logins to a Datasette instance.

|
||
> IndieAuth is an extension of OAuth 2.0 that enables an individual website like someone's WordPress, Gitea or OwnCast instance to become its own identity provider. This means you can use your own website to sign in to other websites that support IndieAuth.

Set-up Presentation:
|
||
|
||
- Silos and echo chambers?
|
||
- Countermeasures?
|
||
- Pink Checkmark system? Verify all accounts or continue 2-class system
|
||
- Can we still make money?
|
||
- Moderation
|
||
- Clients and API openness - on what axes will they compete? Can they compete on algos? Community curation?
|
||
- How important is authenticity? Each tweet signed?
|
||
- Editable cheeps?
|
||
- Delete cheeps?
|
||
- Mike Jones: Listening to Daniel’s ION presentation, I asked from the POV of a naïve person, what are these ION DIDs good for in the first place; his answer was
|
||
- Daniel wants identities that Twitter can’t take away from Donald Trump
|
||
- Child pornographers would also then be sovereign over their identifiers
|
||
- Kim: People select their own echo chambers
|
||
- Juan: Echo chamber / child porn dynamics have a lot in common (HBO Documentary “into the storm”)
|
||
- Erica: Social media as a way to advertise, finding markets. Want to market to people who are interested
|
||
- Small business, organic marketing, micro-commerce
|
||
- Bullying, social problems, child protection

Secure Scuttlebutt, Decentralized Identifiers, Key Management
|
||
|
||
Dmitri expressed interest in SSB and reported using but then having lost their key (when switching/resetting devices?). Expressed Frustration (with the key recovery process). Have question, how could SSB use DIDs?
|
||
|
||
Charles responded that there is a draft PR on [DID Spec Registries](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-spec-registries/) adding a SSB DID method a few days ago.
|
||
|
||
* [https://github.com/w3c/did-spec-registries/pull/291](https://github.com/w3c/did-spec-registries/pull/291)
|
||
|
||
Dmitri Z. asked about other ways other than as a DID method.
|
||
|
||
Charles said SSB could be extended to support DIDs, but this would be a breaking change, which the community doesn’t seem to want, considering SSB’s message signing format as “set in stone”.
|
||
|
||
There could be other ways, such as making a new system that uses DIDs but inherits some of SSB’s design.

empowers people to message each other completely privately, without the involvement of a central server. The app is open-source and is being developed by a non-profit group called the [Holochain Institute of Japan](https://www.hcij.org/en/).

I witness demos of [Social Sensemaker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaaK6oXL6Ls) and [We](https://github.com/lightningrodlabs/we), working examples of Holochain apps that help groups create healthy online social spaces to work and play in

|
||
|
||
In keeping with the DWeb Camp theme, we also demonstrated how decentralized identifiers, identity web wallets, and verified credentials can be powerfully leveraged in Ethereal Engine to enable an entirely new paradigm of [frictionless portable identity](https://www.etherealengine.com/blog-posts/metaverse-for-humans) that champions user privacy and dignity.

Ubikom is free, open-source email framework based on the concept of [Self-Sovereign Identity.](https://sovrin.org/faq/what-is-self-sovereign-identity/) You own your identity (which, in this case, means your private key), and all the outgoing and incoming messages are encrypted and signed by default.
