  This is false, they support did:web which ties your identity to ownership of a DNS name (which is its own can of worms, but not PLC).

  The other part is that you still have to register it to get indexed by the relay, so people can read your posts without querying your server directly (which is possible but discouraged).

  They support did:web too if you don’t like did:plc

  It was by the largest (by a fair margin) socialist-aligned subreddit, but in practice it was like 60% shitposts. Was originally associated with the eponymous podcast, but the hosts have repeatedly said they disliked it.

  That post refers to hosting an appview that does all the same things as the official one, which involves a ton of storage and bandwidth and processing (for recommendations, notifications, and all the other moving parts), and is closed source to boot.
