    it wouldn’t make sense for the server to hold your private key, since that would mean the owner of your instance could make posts as you.

    I mean, this is quite normal and common for all traditional social media (or any site really) you sign up for. It’s what most ActivityPub instances do too, though there’s nothing in ActivityPub that requires the server to hold the private key. It could in principle be held by the client but I don’t believe there is any implementation that does that currently.

      Yeah, this is just me tacking on extra features I’d like. My security-minded programmer brain can’t help but think of all the edge-cases. It’s something that is suddenly possible with distributed social media that never was before.
