It's not easy to do better. Sure, Moxie has has a strong opinions, but has reasoning behind it. Not distributed or federated, because then you'll inevitable version drift, complex handshakes, more attack surface, different quality implementations, more risk to users, and overall a less secure system. Requiring a sim, annoying, makes it easier to track people through whoever paid for the sim. However it does make it hard for an attacker to create millions of accounts and camp on user names.
