Are you saying that the primary issue is that for each federated service we need a separate account / instance for it as opposed to email which is just one email account? I don't disagree with that but it's the same situation for Reddit, YouTube, Twitter. I have to maintain separate accounts on those platforms too.
- drdaeman 3y agoYes. And I get it that we all have separate accounts. The difference is they're entirely separate networks, not one. If I'm on Fediverse, and self-hosting, with my own domain, it's fairly natural to want to have a solid identity, isn't it? Which is where it's different to email. When self-hosting mail, you can have separate identities too, but those will be created on a purpose (different addresses for different personas/purposes), rather than fragmented because of necessity.
- myaccountonhn 3y agoBut you don't have separate identities for Youtube, Gmail, Meet et.c. For a federated internet, you should have the same ID for all federated services so that you can build the same product experience as with Apple or Microsoft or Google.
