Good article with lots of good ideas, and a few maybe not quite so good (the trick, as always, is telling which is which), along with a key point: "Part of the problem here is that every Fediverse server in the network is a full-blown platform, rather than a client.... The primary side effect of every Fediverse server being a platform instead of a client is that every platform needs its own account to be used." What we want, I think, is "user accounts (that) are free-floating, peer-to-peer identities."
