Well, if possible, I'd really prefer to actually posess my identity (like I possess my GPG keypair) and be the authoritative source of it, not lease it.

I really don't want others to define who I am, and prefer them to merely assert my own definition of myself.

Unfortunately, modern trends of the Web is to make things work in exactly the opposite way.
