Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.
Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.
I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).
Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.
Asking after having this discussion.
This is why I’m selfhosting an instance just for myself. I was not a fan of the instance admin controlling my account. That is fine for people with ephemeral accounts, but as one can probably see from my nick and instance address, it’s not for me.
It’s bad enough that any community is tied to one instance, even if the content federates.
Yeah I thought about that but it seems a little bit excessive for just what I want.
