i've basically been complaining for years about how ActivityPub chose to solve the identity problem. i've been on Mastodon since 2017 - a year after it was released - and the lack of nomadic identities was always a pet peeve of mine

should nostr adopt some things from ap?

i think there are a couple of things but i'd have to think about it. a big one that was recently implemented across many servers was editing. when you edit a post, others can see that it was edited and you can check the edit history if you want. also, if you repost something and it gets edited, you get a notification about it, so you can check if you still approve of what you reposted. but you can't withdraw anything on Nostr. you can't undo a like or a repost.

it wouldn't hurt if you could unlike and unrepost things.

edits seems an obvious thing but having no edits is also something
