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

    and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated

      The problem already exists now, having oauth wouldn’t change anything.

      exactly what I was thinking

      and on top of that what happens with a proven bad actor

      would they be allowed to just jump to a new instance to harrass people?
