I kind of like how I can just delete or edit any post of mine in Pubky anytime. It makes me the real authority on my data.

People have been arguing about IP law lately, and I think this is a good primitive to discuss any remotely rational alternative to the current system.

If I am the authority on my data, it means that any version of it that is copied can be strictly identified as such. You could even establish provenance in deep ways with tagging, social graph, and some sort of signing/stamping or structured data trie or such.

We can add versioning, tree-based data structures, and even per-event signing like Nostr if we want, but for now, it feels nice being in control, even when I am trusting a homeserver.
