2018 seems...alot? On what aspect can improve in particular?
Account portability maybe https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-7952-roadmap-for-actor-and-object-portability/4332/12?u=erlend_sh
Literally one of the reason for the existence of this thread.
I absolutely see the problem, but making users host their own server to host their actor profile and posts is just too complicated. I mean why not just host the whole AP server then... Additionally it reminded me a lot of Activity Pods
Hosting data yourself wouldn't be required, but it would become an option.
You'd have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.
Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.
