Can I own my identity on the Internet?
It's good that Signal is (slowly) moving away from phone numbers as an identifier. But even things like email addresses and domain names rely on the whims of 3rd parties.
Is there a way to have a stable, self-owned identifier, which doesn't rely on fragile and complex cryptography?
