Thanks for the links, I'll take a look! I've been working on some identity management stuff for a project of my own. You might also be interested in social_media_design.
Did you look at Imzy at all, when it was still around? It was a communities-based social media site made by some former reddit employees. Users could have multiple profiles that were not publicly linked together, like your identities. (Users had to choose which profile to use for each community they joined.) One thing I was concerned about was people relying on it too heavily for strong pseudonymity, and in fact I later found and reported a vulnerability that allowed me to identify all profiles that belonged to the same user accounts. So the presentation of pseudonyms is a little tricky, and I'd rather the site not even *know* about the multiple identities a user has, if possible. (Or just make sure people understand that it's not strong security.)
Have you read "Big and Small Computing"? An acquaintance of mine published a collection of essays under that title. The title essay sounds similar to your goal of having Querki embrace small data.
