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.
When I see people criticize something they have clearly not used I get motivated to try it.
There is more to this than moderation. Look at how Reddit handled third party access and how they will monetize content for their benefit that you created. How do you bring your voice to that debate? Here you can, on Reddit you can’t. I think the answer needs to be that nobody can be silenced. Yes they can be taken out of communities but they cannot be silenced. That is especially true in the nostr model. If enough people are bothered by what happened they can recreate the community or move to a different instance. It will happen eventually. This stuff is all too new right now to have good examples.
I have a Keyboard Maestro command to type out the clipboard instead of pasting it. Some developers just love exerting control over everything. I’m sure this one is done in the name of security, which is silly.
Without activepub integration, I just see threads as another Twitter. I don’t think any of these walled gardens are very interesting, especially Twitter copies such as Mastodon or Threads. It’s just another platform for the few to get their message out to the many. It’s boring in almost all cases.
You depress too easily :-).
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.
