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

I like this comment but in the end this is something most people won't want, me included, because a decentralized identity would just mean an even better way to track and get yourself doxed for people who want to remain unknown to rulers of city states

Oh God no, that's not where I want this to go; that pretty much defeats the entire point. This is to expand our options so we can use the plural form of 'options' and not the singular and I'm optimistic there will be more.
