Credible exit is a concept that means a person can leave a service without loss of context or data. The ability to respawn in another location.
Makes sense - I've heard you use the term a few times but seems I misunderstood it.
From a user perspective, it's also important that I'm not inadvertently relinquishing my data to third parties.
For context, I think the moment Nostr turned sour for me was hearing Nostr CEO express the plan to get as much as possible of everybody's data onto Nostr and then to run AI on it. I recall an instant rush of 'wtf' since I had - up until then - been under the impression that Nostr was primarily freedom tech.
There will of course always be the data scraping issue, as pointed out by prominent bitcoiner/s early-on....
Pubky just seems a lot more sovereign to me though, since users (1) Aren't signing every single cough and sneeze with a private key, and (2) Maintain the ability to delete all content from a self-operated homeserver with a reasonable expectation that a self-appointed protocol ubermenschen aren't going to assume they have data rights.
