1/ Would this work with ActivityPub? Idea for making #Mastodon accounts more portable:
Domain becomes user name: DNS entry specifies current server. Optional: Domain name also points to current server.
All servers have universal URLs (and IDs) for posts: some-server.com/@some-user.com/021132...
• Each server uses the DNS entry of some-user.com to determine the user’s current server and retrieves posts from there.
