Sub as a noun is fine. Sub can just mean subscription (to a community) or "at a lower level" so lower than an instance, thus community.

What was the sentence

Yes something like this should definitely be implemented. Mastodon has the feature of "moving your account" from one instance to another, but I haven't tested it yet. Don't know if it has anything like you mentioned like key management.

I'd like the idea of certain instances becoming so large that it attracts the larger populous and becomes one of the major platforms. That is if it remains to be open source and federated.

(Edit: or just a community)

Why is background crypto mining not used? If it's openly communicated and is an opt-in option, people might prefer that over donation or ads.
