Worse is better if it is worse to the devs but better for the users. I claim that all our decisions are meant to achieve sovereignty over IDs without any more complexity that isn't inherent in the very web. I say that is pragmatic not pure or perfect, I am not trying to reinvent functional operating systems, hell I specifically try to work on things that can be "done". The most leverage for the least novelty.

If you mean Nostr network effect, then 1. arguably it barely exists 2. we explained why a hard fork was practically unavoidable.

As for your question, I honestly don't have much more ideas than what is in Bluesky which itself is iffy;

the idea is, if homeservers sign their own data, then others can act as their CDNs without a relationship, so a big thing like Internet Archive can bail you out if your Umbrel homeserver is dying.

Theoretically that should work, just like Bittorrent or Git...but also let's be honest Internet Archive works regardless, even if not signed.

But when the low hanging fruits are done, we will work on signed append only searchable merkle trees per user.

At least I did a proof of concept a while ago.

In reality, nobody gives a shit and bots just trust Bluesky firehose feed without the expensive merkle proofs.

But we will do what we can if the complexity budget allows.
