Fuck Digital ID
View quoted note →
that's a brainless attitude.
your id is already digital in the worst possible way. only you have zero control over the data you use to identify yourself.
digital id can at least fix 1 aspect of this giant pile of shit.
My digital id is Nostr npub. Everything else is data they stole from me without my consent.
not a very good digital id. but certainly a digital identity. you can use it to sign challenges, which makes your authentications non-reusable (very good against identity theft). but extremely linkable/traceable.
Traceable and linkable to this pseudonym? I am fine with that.
you shouldn't be. control over where you can be traced and where you can't be traced but still authorized is important.
nostr is such a simplistic solution. it's a lot better than some alternatives but very very far from ideal.
Good message
