@justin @orta the main reason is that I've felt the story for identity on ActivityPub is lacking in a way that AT Protocol improves upon. This might seem small to some, but I don't think it's a small deal. True sovereignty from one's host depends on having an independent identity from the host's control.
But that's not just good from the user standpoint. It also means the network can have a better onboarding story, because your choice of onramp to join doesn't lock you in in any way. That removes one of the biggest pain points cited in the Mastodon experience.
This has been on my mind since early in my experience here
@acjay @justin Yeah, agree that as a feature this would make sense - there is some host level options for it inside mastodon ( https://github.com/felx/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md ) which could be a way for bringing it into that app at least
