I just want a public key. You can name me what you want or I can buy an easy-to-read username and renew it like a domain.

  You have the choice to have any username you want on a domain you own.

      Or if you know how to pay someone else to do that for you. I searched for managed mastodon and found plenty of options. https://masto.host https://masto.host https://toot.io https://toot.io https://elest.io/open-source/mastodon https://elest.io/open-source/mastodon https://hostdon.jp/#/ https://hostdon.jp/#/ https://federation.spacebear.ee/software/mastodon https://federation.spacebear.ee/software/mastodon https://ossrox.org/ https://ossrox.org/ https://weingaertner-it.de/ https://weingaertner-it.de/ I expect many more will emerge now that demand is increasing.

        The reason I just want a public key is because I don’t really own the account otherwise. I only own it if I self host it. If I rent from them, I’m just renting my account from these services. It’s actually worse than renting it from Twitter because people care less if smaller companies abuse you.
