Passing this along here since this community (that I am new to) is also looking into other options.

I am also thinking more and more about decentralization and/or federation.
Looking at Secure Scuttlebutt right now.
Take about 15 min from your usual youtube train (you know you are doing it right now!) and look at this vid that explains the start of it pretty well:
Watch and look it over and post questions/comments.
What if we were to be fully able to post publicly and (end to end encrypted) privately to people AND keep our content?
What if we were able to post offline, knowing that it would get to the wider world with little issue?
What if we weren’t beholden to a large company to hold and protect our data/writings/etc?

Just to make sure, you are listening to the movie or waiting for me to weigh in?
I am still playing around myself. VERY early stages!! The principles really attracted me:

I’m waiting to see what others think before I jump in. Thus “Listening.”

“Listening” as in “I want to see replies to this conversation and I don’t have anything clever to say, and I guess G+ never will get around to adding an unobtrusive ‘follow thread’ feature.”

Maybe we should flood them with feature requests for it.

So one thing I am noticing is that, your identity is tied to a cryptographic key. That is pretty pimpin’! This would make one on one messages truly private. However, they are not aware of aliasing keys at this time.
What that means, folks is that there is a one to one association at a computer level. Device A has this key for Identity A. Device B has this key for Identity B. …but Device A can’t have Identity B nor can you unify Identity A and B. (did that make sense???).
TL;DR – your ssb identity is tied to a single device.
