Yeah, if ActivityPub could support nomadic identity out of the box, that would be great.
Having lost two of my accounts to recent instance shutdowns, I 100% support this idea.
can you give me an ELI5 of what nomadic identity does? I gave a glance at that page and just wound up with more questions lol
Basically, right now an identity (or account) is tied to a server. If the identity was tied to a cryptographic key instead, it and all of its content can be migrated to another server through an automated process. Both servers would have to authenticate the process with a public handshake, but essentially you would be able to move your account to another server - or even tie several accounts together into one identity.
Don't know why you've been downvoted. You're absolutely right.
