@fromjason essentially - although not a ‘single centralised hub’ - more ‘distributed nodes’ - since nowhere - anywhere - is there - let alone should there be - or could there be - ‘one ring to rule them all’. As a result he has developed an identity protocol to do just that … central to his thesis - the internet is about things - and identity is about people - and you don’t solve identity issues with things - use them yes but a thing doesn’t define you.
