I still don't understand how this project meaningfully addresses the problem of identity and data ownership.

When it come to identities, either you have your own domain, or you use someone else's domain (say, Bluesky). Most people don't have domains, and so their identity will be owned by a third party.

You also have the same problem when it comes to the data itself. The moment Bluesky or some other server bans you, your repo is shut down and you lose the ability to move the data somewhere else.

In short, this is exactly like email. Unless you have your own domain and server you don't control anything.
