Basically, in contrast to #ActivityPub, everyone has a decentralized identifier (DID) that is basically a hash ( z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur) which can be resolved to a DID document using a DID method.
That DID document will have things like your current handle and the current host of your data, so even if you move hosts, the DID hash will stay the same and by resolving the hash, your DID document will always have the info to reach you, this is good.

Normally, a browser sucking would be a problem just for that vendor, who would lose share. But because of the #applebrowserban, Apple has nothing to fear. Instead, Apple continually breaks essential functionality it would *never* break for native developers.
The result? A web that can't compete, even when Apple *finally* gets around to adding features.
