     To me it would be preferable if our Fediverse identity stayed with us, even if we used other servers.

     Yes, similar to nostr's npub — and similar to other things.

     (It is an old technique that has been around for many decades.)

     @reiver @ml funny enough, this is already done on the backend as far as I'm aware, you just don't hold the keys to your account, your instance does.🤦♂️

     @reiver Yeah! Probably that would be possible if all softwares implement custom domain support.

     Yes. In the activity-JSON there is a field called "publicKeyPem".

     ...

     And, yes, you don't hold it yourself. It is a delegated-key.

     ...

     Part of what could address this is supporting keys that users hold themselves (in addition to the delegated-key).
