@ Tokyo Outsider (337ppm) ...which, in turn, came to exist due to @silverpill's plan to implement nomadic identity à la Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte on something that a) only supports ActivityPub, b) is non-nomadic and c) ties the identity to the login.

I've got my doubts that whoever started the FEP draft, like the vast majority of Mastodon users, has ever really heard of silverpill, Mitra, Mike Macgirvin, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte and/or nomadic identity. Nobody in the thread mentions either of these even only once.

Besides, even Mitra still has a long way to go until it's really as fully nomadic as Mike's creations, also because silverpill most likely doesn't want to implement anything that isn't covered by a FEP. And I can't see Mastodon itself ever going nomadic, seeing as the devs have already silently rejected client-side OpenWebAuth support.
