the goal is to decouple users from servers.

the idea is to move the key that AP uses to sign JSON-LD objects to the client and do all of the crypto operations there.

a server in this model is an always-on relay for replicating data. you can submit a message to any relay and expect to have it show up on all interested servers.

unfortunately, this will also break compat with HTTP/DNS-based AP servers, but hopefully this is something that the maintainers will be open to supporting.
