This sounds interesting. Does it mean an AP server could exist that would not be based on the federation model? Or to make my question more precise : would the gossip model be used only for data distribution and we would still have to register on a node, or would it allow to keep and reuse our data and identity should our usual node disappear?

the goal is to decouple users from servers. the idea is to move the key that AP uses to sign JSON-LD objects to the client and do all of the crypto operations there. a server in this model is an always-on relay for replicating data. you can submit a message to any relay and expect to have it show up on all interested servers. unfortunately, this will also break compat with HTTP/DNS-based AP servers, but hopefully this is something that the maintainers will be open to supporting. relevant threads: https://b.9chan.lol/notice/279590 https://b.9chan.lol/notice/279590 https://b.9chan.lol/notice/226866 https://b.9chan.lol/notice/226866 https://b.9chan.lol/notice/212397 https://b.9chan.lol/notice/212397 https://shitposter.club/notice/9830850 https://shitposter.club/notice/9830850
