@adiz @damon @david anything PKI is doomed from the get go. people really aren't compatible with it. that's why i mention custodial relays.

zot is like fedi but while every user has an identity in the form of a pki key, the home server manages it. you can migrate to another home server (and keep a backup even, with a takeover code) and it works.

its not like fedi where you can't just up an go somewhere else without a huge amount of bother
