Do you understand what the point of federation is? The point is to have one single account to interact with the whole Fediverse. It shouldn't matter where you register your account, all Fediverse should be accessible to you.
that's not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there's a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on
the "one single account" thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation
Lolwut?
