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.
With mastodon, you can switch your user between instances and bring your followers and stuff with you. I guess the only problem would be is if the server you are leaving suddenly went offline, but I’m on a pretty decent server so I’m not too worried about it.
I don’t think this is in Lemmy, but I imagine it will be at some point.
