 Agree bluesky DIDs are poor, but nostr has done pretty much nothing on structured data in the last 4 years.  We could have been so far ahead, but every effort is kicked into the long grass. 
 I won't lie to you, I am structured data and semantic web skeptic. But John champions that stuff, so maybe we will put more effort there, most likely not thanks to me, I dread that stuff. 
 You are correct to be a skeptic.  Takes a lot of learning to figure out the good bits.  But better than strings with string meta data, stringified json, and magic numbers that are rationed out be a central authority.  Never thought nostr would get this centralized.
