I’m trying to learn more about the protocol, and after years of being around in the fediverse there’s obviously areas where the protocol could improve. I was reading some of the fep documents and there are really good proposals. How long for these to be part of the protocol? Last update was 2018.
I absolutely see the problem, but making users host their own server to host their actor profile and posts is just too complicated. I mean why not just host the whole AP server then… Additionally it reminded me a lot of Activity Pods
Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.
You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.
Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.
