  • Send you a message [through] your most used app/profile without needing an [account] on that service

    No, I don’t think so…

    However, what you’re describing kind of sounds like a polycentric identity. Maybe check that out. Also, I believe ActivityPods aim to handle a little of what you’re describing, but I don’t know how much adoption it’s had.











  • I believe it’s actually possible to sign in with mastodon on Pixelfed. Wouldn’t that work for a single user mastodon instance too?

    You’re right. I’m not sure if it works with single-user instances, but I believe it does. This is the sort of thing that is technically possible — I believe ActivityPods aims to do something about it, too — but I don’t know… I guess federation can be a bit of a safeguard for this, like having a list of flagged instances that don’t allow account creation; requiring certain thresholds of account age or activity to be passed; stuff like that. There’s also the fact that, being social media, no instance wants bots to run wild, so that could, itself, be a check on that sort of thing, and it might not be economically viable to just host an instance strictly for bot-login purposes, so that is just an inherent barrier to wrongdoing.

    Meh, maybe it’s more feasible than not.



  • As others have mentioned in the comments, this might not really work because websites/services would have to trust a bunch of tiny, maybe even single-user instances.

    I can see a world where sign-in with Fediverse is possible, but only for a select few instances such as .world, .ml, .ee, and a few other highly-moderated servers.
