Wow! One that I missed! I'll give it a listen. Thanks!
Enjoyed this conversation. A lot of it was way over my head, but I seem to like to torture myself that way.
So, with Pubkey, a user would be signing up through a homeserver, and if that homeserver decided to censor them, they would be SOL and have to start over, just like with Mastodon? Am I understanding that correctly? No posting a note to a few different relays for the sake of censorship resistance via redundancy?
It's been a while, but I believe that's right. Cryptographically signed data is also sort of an afterthought, so there's no smooth path to trustless content replication either.
I caught that, and there was talk about the homeserver signing the content, rather than the user themselves signing their content.
