Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.

Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.

I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).

Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.

Asking after having this discussion.

    Not sure if this would help or not but what I want is to own my user, so I can bring it anywhere and not worry if an instance goes down since I own the user. Similar to email with your own domain, the provider I use for email could go down but I have control to the domain/email so I can switch to something else, but keep my user.

      This would be great. I don’t want to make multiple accounts if I want to leave an instance. It should be as simple as switching in a menu.
