The lack of multi-device support was a constraint that gave me a different perspective of interactions on the web.

My ssb keypair was on a work laptop, so when I changed jobs and had to give my laptop back, I lost my keypair. Now, I could have exported the keypair and continued to use my "account" on my new laptop. The network would have synced on my new device, and I'd get all my posts and pictures back. But decided to embrace the constraint instead.

When I rejoin the network, I'll have a new keypair, and no post history. I think this can have an interesting effect on how we view our attachment to data.

Creating a new account from scratch also means rotating your keys, which is a good practice. As the last few discussions on PGP have shown, the model of having a long-term identity key is more dangerous than it seems, because a single mistake (by you or by the application developer) means so much content can now be leaked. It's probably easier to let the natural connection between people be the vector of long-term trust, which ironically SSB emphasizes on
