Server: Feature Request: Adopt Zot Protocol [$70]

[sunjam]

Zot Protocol allows users to clone/merge/migrate user accounts across multiple physical servers. You can read about Zot/6 here in detail as it has been developed for Hubzilla and works beautifully. This would be an absolutely huge step forward for Nextcloud.

• Mirroring accounts across multiple servers for faster access times
• Preventing single point of failure when a user's server goes down
• Promoting free speech
• Decentralization

There is a $70 open bounty on this issue. Add to the bounty at Bountysource.

We prefer to use standards which are well-established and widely used already (like WebDAV, ActivityPub, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc) and that’s what we focus on with our limited resources.

If anyone would like to implement this, feel free. But it’s not a main roadmap feature.

Zot now has a W3C group for furthering development. It is an amazing protocol and open standard.

Edit: Bounty Added!
