Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently Spacebar accounts are stored on a single homeserver. This is far from decentralised and produces an unfortunate single point of failure and control for the user.
Describe the solution you'd like
Describe alternatives you've considered
replicating account data across multiple servers, and let clients pick which home server they talk.
homeserver to support decoupling accounts from DNS, and allowing multiple trusted servers to host the data.
