All good points in this thread, but i’ll still take a key i control over some rando server managed by someone else. If you have lots of money tied to a key i probably wouldn’t use it in mobile apps that are hard to verify… i would read the source code and compile from source and just use notedeck. Anyone not reading the source code and compiling it themselves has to trust someone, even in the keyserver case. The server case is even harder for people because people have phones, not computers with servers. We are already lightyears ahead in comparison to legacy social media platforms and protocols, at least users have the ability to choose their risk tolerance levels with different clients. On legacy they can read your DMs and make posts on your behalf if they wanted to.
