@atomicpoet I agree about the portable identity, but it's very difficult to implement as it will dis-incentivize running your own servers that will lead to massive centralization of the ecosystem.

@Mikko Alasaarela :equel: @Fediverse News This very thing that @Chris Trottier has mentioned has been implemented in the #Zot protocol and has been in daily use on #Hubzilla since 2012. It's not utopic, it's not science-fiction, it's not someone's fever dream, it has been a real thing for longer than Mastodon and ActivityPub.

And Hubzilla is every bit as decentralised as Mastodon, if not more so. It has a lower user-to-instance ratio than Mastodon, and it doesn't have an "official lighthouse instance." Anyone could run it on a LAMP stack at home or on rented server space.
