Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

    You know you can interact with posts and users on other instances without having to login on their instance, right?

      It doesn’t work for everything though. Having a self hosted account that wasn’t tied to any specific platform or instance would ideally allow you to have access to PeerTube and BookWyrm as well as Mastodon and Kbin, without having to worry about your instance shuttering and all of your posts and comments disappearing. I’ve also been really stewing on this idea, I think it’s a probable future state of the Fediverse
