You can use did:plc, did:nostr, or even both together. I was one of the original contributors to the DID work — my name is on the spec. I've discussed the topic with fiatjaf many times, and frankly, he doesn't seem to understand it beyond repeating “it's a scam.”
While I’m no fan of where DIDs have ended up — and I think they’re not as decentralized as originally promised — they’re still a significant improvement over anything that’s come out of the NIPs so far. Imperfect, yes, but a step forward.
I'll likely tweak it further based on what we've learned:
