@linc This is fantastic, and more than enough for me to get my head around the basic ideas. Thank you!

I'll try to get up to speed on what you've been doing, and then see how it might fit with my own work. Would you say this could work for "non-forum" software, too, such as a regular Mastodon server?

@benpate "Non-forum" yes, but not really Masto. The fediverse/AP is organized around *individual* data sovereignty, which is great, but is solving portability at scale using a universally-recognized *identity*. You can move YOUR account, but not everyone else's, because context is global.

Nitro Porter is trying to solve *collective* data sovereignty — as a group, what do we want to do with our shared data — which doesn't make sense outside *private* context.

I am not sure Mastodon translates.
