Think of the #Fediverse this way.
a. Fediverse = Email
b. Platform/Software = Provider (Google, Naver)
c. Server = Gmail US, Gmail EU, Naver KO
No matter which provider/software you're using, you can send/receive emails from other providers and from any servers.

Another way to understand the #Fediverse
a. Fediverse = Global phone system
b. Platform/Software = Phone companies per country
c. Server = Cell towers
Regardless of your location and network, you can call/SMS anyone, anywhere.

The #Fediverse is similar.
a. Fediverse is powered by the #webstandard #ActivityPub that interconnects everyone who implements it.
b. Platforms like #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Friendica, #Owncast, #Peertube, are the "phone companies".
c. Servers are the independent "cell towers"

Congrats to editors @manusporny, @rhiaro, @peacekeeper and @drummondreed for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard "Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0": w3.org/TR/2022/REC-di… #timetoadopt!!
DIDs are a new type of identifier that do not require a centralized registry. It empowers everyone on the Web to generate their own identifiers and take control of their own #identity and relationships while also providing greater #security and #privacy 
Coupled with #w3c Verifiable Credentials, DIDs are being used across a number of markets (such as governments, retailers, etc.) where #identification and #data authenticity is a concern. Read the numerous testimonials from W3C members and the industry: w3.org/2022/07/pressr…
