True. It makes me at least think about what other options there are in terms of resiliency for user accounts. Right now we're back to the wild west days of the internet where you might not be 100% sure that your provider is in it for the long haul. There were so many random email hosts in the 90s and early 2000s with vanity domains. Now, it's rare to see anything other than Gmail, outlook, iCloud, or hotmail for personal emails. People congregated around the big companies. That's what worries me about companies like Meta and Twitter getting into the fediverse
@JonEFive I've been wondering about separating the ID/auth from the app. Someone recently got Keycloak working and that has some possibilities for federation. Not sure if that really helps though. You still have to trust the keycloak admins
WebauthN maybe? Pretty niche right now, but the threadiverse is quite a techy crowd..
