My paraphrase of something Blaine Cook ( @blaine ) ( bsky.app/profile/blaine.bsky.s… ) said:
The original idea of WebFinger was to separate your identity from the application and services you use.
Rather that bind then together (as on the Fediverse).
Webfinger Woes
Webfingers offer a temptating promise. Have your primary domain cake work for Mastodon and eat it too. But they come with their own set of challenges and potential long term problems.
Victor and Paige discuss the pros and cons in more detail.

Fun fact: the #Fediverse doesn’t just depend on #ActivityPub.
A good portion of it runs on #WebFinger. It’s why we’re able to find each other across different servers running vastly different software.

Sometimes I wonder to myself, “What didn’t we just modernize finger protocol to make an alternative to Twitter?”
Have you ever asked yourself how the BSD Café Mastodon instance was built?
Stefano has written here what he has done. You should have at least rudimentary knowledge of what a jail is in order to follow everything and at least a simple manner.
In short a jail is much more efficient than a VM, uses much less resources and it's easier to control
If you take the time to Study all the subjects, you will be a will to build a freeBSD instance of Mastodon yourself; all the information necessary Is provided Here and Deep to very Deep details you can dig up yourself

Make sure that you always think about the data that you divulge to big companies. Use the Easy Storage knowing that they will use your data also even your copyrighted photographs.
Within the Fediverse it's easy to own your data, very easy, always remember that and be thankful

In this article Stefano explains to you how to use a web finger system so that people can always find your address
An important message here is that _you should always own your data_. So do not rely on cloud or web services to maintain your data. Always remember that many of those massive conglomerates use your data and sell it, literally sell it, or the metadata off it, to the highest bidder
Within the Fediverse it's easy to migrate from one server to the next, your followers will automatically follow your new account

I have also been completing my #Fediverse, #Mastodon, #BlueSky, and other connections at #WordPress, thanks to #ActivityPub, #Jetpack, #Webfinger, #Friends, #Hum, #Webmention, and other #plugins. Thanks also to people like @pfefferle and many others who have been making these plugin applications happen over the years. Big improvements! Almost there in my setup… getting better everyday. I’ve been incredibly productive, and on the way! Thanks to the community here!! @mastodonmigration too.
