Actually when one installs Scuttlebutt, one doesn't need to know about ed25519 key pairs. Instead one just downloads the software, picks a username and starts reading & posting. (As far as i remember.) The user interface makes everything fairly simple.
Distributed community discussion/chat clients, with universal single-sign-on, could maybe be equally simple?
Two tricky tech things could be 1) how to share one's key, between all one's devices. And 2) how can all one's browser tabs, and discussion apps, get access to the key, once it's installed on localhost? without being able to steal the private key.
(If one is a Scuttlebut developer, though, then one might need to know about ed25519 identities.)
