FEP-ef61: Portable Objects

Fedify has just laid out a comprehensive implementation plan for this fep:

FEP-ef61: Portable Objects · Issue #288 · fedify-dev/fedify · GitHub

The core idea is replacing HTTP(S) URIs with server-independent identifiers: ap:// URIs that use a Decentralized Identifier (DID) as the authority component, rather than a domain name. An object identified as ap://did:key:z6Mk…/actor can live on multiple servers simultaneously and survives any single server disappearing.
