One login for the entire fediverse would make sense.
kinddda. you'd still need to do something smart because it needs to be decentralized. IRC handled it with registered nicknames, i'd think we could field something with some form of federated authentication provider, split the data between a few nodes.
Agreed! Then it could be really like email! You create an account on an "account server", we'll call it, and then you can use that account to log into "community servers". Instances wouldn't need to federate content with each other, since users could just go to other instances with their account.
If you didn't federate the account servers, noone would want to step and and pay for the service for everyone. The accounts need to be spread as much as the data to protect them, but they need to be redundant as well
Of course, the account servers should be federated, but the content servers don't need to be.
