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?

First 100: BadgeFed Explorer The verified Badge was issued to @MIchael S. Manley You ventured into uncharted territory and helped shape the BadgeFed project from the start. As one of the first 100 testers, your curiosity, feedback, and bug-finding instincts helped stabilize the platform. The fediverse will always remember your role in getting us off the ground—one crash, typo, and glorious bug report at a time. Earning Criteria: Awarded to the first 100 individuals who actively participated in the early testing phase of BadgeFed. This includes exploring the platform, submitting feedback or bug reports, and generally poking around where things probably weren’t ready yet. These badges are limited—no retroactive claims, no reruns, no exceptions. You were here. You mattered..

@juergen @nick @crossgolf_rebel @roblen wir hatten vor ein paar monaten mal ein problem mit vereinzelten posts die nicht veröffenticht wurden und haben das an den umlauten in den tags fest gemacht... vielleicht ist es zeit das nochmal zu verifizieren...

@micke no. But many of the standards that we depend on, like Webfinger, HTTP Signature, OAuth and now MLS are at IETF. There is a lot to see and do here for people working on Fediverse standards.
