@trwnh OK I'm starting to see what you mean, but that still ties user to example.org, and can (and in fact often is) already achieved with subdomains (user.example.org). But this is still tied to example.org so it still delegate to organization before people. I think this might be what I found confusing. If the intent is prioritizing people, wouldn't make the authority part be the user id directly?

i have to conclude that the biggest barrier to entry to the personal web, aside from obtaining access to hosting, is the expectation that every page on a website has to look the same, be styled the same, have the same navigation menu, and so on. -

I think that's kind of what the nomadic identity proposals that have been made for the Fediverse try to resolve?
(Can't remember the FEP off the top of my head but you're probably already familiar with it.)

The x part doesn't need to be a FQDN, but it does need to be a resolvable (even if only locally) host name. I'm not sure what you mean by the prefix part, don't relative URLs already work that way?

I've been thinking about doing it on my site, but I can never find the time to work on it 8-(

If I wanted to create a #Fediverse account for a #FLOSS project I'm managing, what would be a recommended server?If I wanted to create a #Fediverse account for a #FLOSS project I'm managing, what would be a recommended server? Possibly one with the least drama surrounding it.
(EDIT: the project is a tool with applications primarily in #engineering and #science

this isn't enough to get me to use kde but i am kinda jelly that seemingly the only way to have working drag-and-drop between an archive manager and a file manager is to use ark + dolphin@trwnh so what WILL get you to use it?

2007 is eternal@trwnh does it still work? Or did it need a centralized server that has been switched off?
