There’s likely to be a lot of moving between instances as people and instances sort themselves out into the free fediverses and Meta’s fediverses – and today, moving accounts on the fediverse today. There are lots of straightforward ways to improve it, many of which don’t even require improvements to the software. And there are also opportunities to make creating, customizing, and connecting instances easier.

    What would be good is if you could have a fediverse LDAP like login so you can use your login on any fediverse account and all your post etc link back to that single ID.

        Not even LDAP is on the same magnitude of slow and inefficient as a blockchain solution.

        And as always, the Blockchain Rule applies: Whenever you come upon a situation where blockchain is the correct solution, blockchain is not actually the correct solution, you just want a normal database.

            i think he means you could continue to utilize your current single auth source like you do with lemmy.ca.

            SSO allows for other sites to validate you at ‘your home’ by throwing tokens around.
