I've wanted to weigh in on this discussion for some while, but I've been pretty busy. So, I've gathered my thoughts and written a long blog post about it.

If remote subscriptions is a topic of interest to you and you have some time for a discussion of possible use cases, ideas for improvement, and how I think it fits into the bigger picture, please stop by.

I can envision potential subscribers finding out about a user from and outside source like a blog or article. Example: http://bit.ly/add-to-laconica. That's a good idea. In addition, laconica should allow for remote subscription even if logged in to that particular instance. I strongly disagree. I think that's a real edge case. Typical users will not need to do remote subs on a service they already have a login on. It's only really useful for people who are testing remote subs, and there's a really easy workaround (log out). Disagreement accepted. :) It will be interesting to see who the typical user turns out to be. Adding a UI to make this possible is going to really complicate things. -Evan
