Merely having wide adoption of OpenID or Mozilla Persona would be a worthy start.
I just don't have much faith in these idealistic open source projects these days; when I google "diaspora oauth" and the first thing I find is abandonware (https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora-client https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora-client), it pretty much confirms my cynicism. "Nice-looking" isn't the only thing we need from identity management.

- ryukafalz 11y agoAh, okay, you were referring to identity in the technical sense rather than the social sense. I agree that increased adoption of OpenID or Persona would be great. Persona holds the most promise in my opinion, since it's similar enough to existing sign-in systems as to not confuse the average user... but it does require providers to actually use it. IndieAuth is interesting too: https://indieauth.com/ https://indieauth.com/
