Agreed, but that is exactly how NOSTR identity works, and the reason I think NOSTR is such a great protocol.

You realize you’re describing Nostr right?
How is nostr promoting crypto?
Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
It’s not worth getting this upset about this stuff. That’s my 2 cents.
If RCS is such an awesome standard, why not mandate it for all EU phones? Apple already supports the current standard, which is SMS. The idea that they have to open up their proprietary software seems silly to me.
When I see people criticize something they have clearly not used I get motivated to try it.
I try to stick with doing all my subscriptions with apple, google or PayPal. Always keep it where it’s easy to kill.
Just wait till the first security vulnerability are discovered in the code that now will be able to run on iOS and which Apple can’t control directly. Nobody will remember that the cause was forcing Apple to open up their system. They will just blame Apple.
We need to allow for the possibility that it is far more weird than that which honestly is a very human centric view.
Most of these laws end up moving more money in taxes but not more money for anybody other than government burócrata.
Nostr is the future. Maybe Signal should just adopt that protocol.
Apple supports SMS. That’s the universal standard. It’s old and archaic but that’s not apples fault. Getting the carriers to agree on anything and standardize is difficult at best. RCS? Why not but that still should not force Apple to abandon iMessage.
Sounds like a solution looking for a problem.
Microsoft got on my hate list in the 90s and up till steve balmer left. Even through they are much more sane nowadays I still don’t trust them.
Cutting the spending somewhere else? Reducing the size of government?
I loved byte. I also had that Atari ST on the cover.
I doubt she will still be around to celebrate. 
I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I’m searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.
I suspect retrofitting a whole new identity system to Fediverse will never happen because server admins, or instance admins, will come up with all kinds of reasons why they don’t like the idea of not knowing who their users are. Some of them would probably allow it, but I bet a whole bunch of them wouldn’t, and we’d get into this fragmentation where some servers won’t allow posts from those types of identity, etc. It seems to me much easier to take Nostr and just give it the functionality you get inside the Fediverse.
