The social networking dream has finally come true: https://github.com/dpc/rostra

Fully peer-to-peer, very decentralized, uses Iroh and Pkarr, binary payloads, signed messages, merkle trees, advanced synchronization mechanisms, personas mechanism, traverses NAT, DHTs, really good modern and IETF-approved cryptographic algorithms, written in Rust.

I like the idea of personas, but it’s not clear to me how that’s fundamentally different than spinning up a new npub

Am I missing something?

Probably something like BIP85?

I think spinning up a new pubkey is the same. Or even deriving it from a master nsec. I don't think this complexity should be part of the main protocol.

No.
