The Necessity of Standards for the Open Social Web https://idcubed.org/chapter-15-necessity-standards-open-social-web
What's needed is key based identity, not domain based identity. Domains are under the control of ICANN et al - a mostly centralized system which we don't control. Domains can disappear, or people move from one to another. In the fediverse being able to move between instances is an expected behavior and it needs to be easier than it is at present.
We already have standards for key based identity. Things like GPG or SSH. We probably don't need to invent a new one.
