Fediverse hot takes:

  1. The only true client is the browser.

  2. Microblogging be damned.

  3. it’s the instances/servers that are federated, not the users (ie us) … and damn that too.

@maegul Well, it sure outlines that if you want a centrally coordinated approach, a decentral system has it's drawbacks. One of them being sufficient FLOSS ressources to transform earlier platforms to newer protocols (I am sure Hubzilla devs would not opposed to make the transformation to Nomad - sufficient dev support provided - which I am not so sure about with AP platforms). Anyway, we agree that it would be of much benefit if AP specs provided the existing means for nomadic identity (and if platforms not using it now would incorporate it).

Unless someone can suggest a better solution, that is.
