Over the years, I've been studying a handful of different fediverse platforms that bring a lot of interesting concepts to the table.

As someone that has studied and reported on the developments of these various systems, I've decided to put together a summary of things I'd like to one day put into my own federated platform, should I ever develop enough brainpower to actually develop one.

I wonder if Solid could be used to deal with federated ID?

You know, every time I've tried to take a look at Solid's protocol, I find myself struggling to understand what they're actually trying to do, or how any of it is supposed to work.

I've tried to read the protocol spec several times, and my brain just kind of melts. From their About page for the Solid project, I kind of get what they're talking about, but so much of the under-the-hood stuff feels really vague.

I'm not against making a fediverse platform support Solid, if only to support the core concepts its promoting, but I feel like they have a lot of work to do to make their own project more accessible to people.
