I can remember there was a concept of floating accounts on Matrix, similar to how groups are spread across servers. Accounts are currently tied to a server, but groups live until the last server participating in that group lives. If someone knows a link to a spec or something, I’ll be grateful. Will update this post once I find something.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but the “nomadic identities” thing is a bit less functional than To enable account portability by breaking the link between a user identity and a specific homeserver. In Hubzilla, from what I remember, it’s rather you have your main identity and its clones, and you must initiate cloning manually when needed. The above MSC, on contrary, means as soon as you own your User Permanent Key, you can act as your user, no matter on which server.

          Actually, this is kind of behind my vision of the decentralised future. Of course, I may be wrong, so let’s see how it evolves. The vision is that you, as a user, belong to a network of servers, which you must be able to browse and roam w/o significant effort (as soon as those servers are open to others), very much like public space in cities. Of course, there could be servers with restricted access, but the key idea of decentralisation is interconnectivity (apart from the primary idea of having more than one server).

              Interesting, what are the negative effects you mentioned?

                  Hmmm, what can they propagate apart from the info I shared myself with my homeserver (which is not mandatory anyway)?
