    The fediverse really needs key-signed messages.

    As long as accounts reside on one server it fails to accomplish its goals, IMO

      The Fediverse’s main goal was to be a middle ground between completely centralized and completely decentralized networks, though… So I’d say it has accomplished its goal.

        Fair enough if you want to move the goal there it’s a score.

        I had thought the goal was to remove central control over communication.

        AFAIK, the team never defined an official goal.

      It’s called self sovereign identity. I’m working on it, it’s a big change that may be accelerated by eIDAS.

          Is there any benefit to it over nostr though? You’d have to link your public key to your account(s) and store a backup of your private key in addition to your regular login/password just to get a more fragmented and less seamless version of nostr. A lot of people already have issues figuring out how fediverse works with multiple instances and all… now they’d have multiple accounts with different credentials to keep track of on top of a meta login/password (pub/priv key). With nostr you only have 1 login/password (pub/priv key) to everything, it’s just long and you can’t change it. At least I think that’s how it works, I don’t really use twitter/nostr/mastodon type of sites.

    If they could encourage it at the countries level that would be nice too.

    Some German and NL public services have Mastodon accounts IIRC, that’s a first step.

    This is the way to go. Eu and Europe have to quit US and Chinese closed social media for another solution that can be controlled from Europe.

      Yes, agreed. But read the other post and this comment : https://lemmy.ml/comment/10590333 I fear that big tech giant products usage is too strong and only increasing. More and more Google and Microsoft data centers and offices are build in Europe lately. More jobs, less nature, more pollution, less digital sovereignty, more dependency on big tech :(

      I like the idea! But from what I’ve read USA will be able to access EU citizens data even on EU servers maintained by USA big tech companies.That’s how USA law works :(
