Feels just like an added overhead to the file system.

The explanations sounds kind of hilarious at times too for an old nerd like me:

But this doesn’t matter!

All you need to start scrobbling is to put records of the fm.teal.alpha.feed.play lexicon into your repo.

Anyways I fail to see a benefit, I'd love to hear anyone's take on this!

The benefit is that all of the information that a user generates while using a social platform application is entirely independent of the platform, and can be read and modified by any application that is designed to interact with it (in the same way that any text editor can read and edit a .txt file).

The point is to stop thinking about e.g. a BlueSky profile as specifically a BlueSky profile, and start thinking of it as my profile, which I share on BlueSky (and anywhere else that I choose). Everything should be portable, in the same way that a .PDF or .jpg is portable.

So a decentralised file system?
