One thing a lot of people do not like about the fediverse is that you can only sign in on the instance you signed up on.
If only there was a simple solution, a way to login everywhere and ensure that it's always the same person.
Something public that could identify the person and something private the person could use to prove it's them.
Soo.. Who's going to build 'sign in with Ethereum' (or public/private keys) for the fediverse?
that's not needed as it's not needed to sign in anywhere other than your 'home' instance, except perhaps when it's offline
I agree there's a lot of potential to improve on the fediverse model but I don't think it makes sense to use Ethereum unless absolutely necessary
In theory.
But in practice not all content is synced compeltely, and definitely not real time.
Additionally, some instances are already defederating.
yeah true, but so far (knock on wood) I've had a near seamless experience with my one lemmy account. At first kbin.social wasn't connected of course so I have a kbin.social account as well, but I don't need it anymore
