I’m afraid federated protocols such as email and matrix are designed in a way which makes distributed user accounts a subpar experience.

I vaguely remember diaspora* allowing you to replicate the same account across multiple instances, but it wasn’t great.

I think it’s easier to make nostr more reliable than to retrofit distributed ids into existing federated systems.
