Can we make federation less dependent on domain names? (sh.itjust.works)

It looks like some issues may arise if/when an instance's domain name changes. Is there any way we can change federation so that we don't need to rely on such a central point of failure?

How interesting. Isn't the did: system also what AT Protocol (Bluesky) uses? 👀

    That's correct.did: prefix is used to denote cryptographic identifiers, in theory one could even take a did:plc identifier from Bluesky and then use it as identity for an ActivityPub application:https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/3943
