What concerns me about the #fediverse / #acrivitypub from a user‘s perspective, is the inflation of identities that will occur as soon as you want to use feature that the platform you started on does not offer.

Your profile could even display when it was last validated next to each field, so that your friends know it's not outdated. It would be reassuring to know that I'm about to send an email to an address that was validated less then 6 months ago. At least I'll know I'm not about to talk to a void!
