  That doesn’t really change that it’s one company hosting it. Unless you’re willing to make 10 different accounts because your super-FOSS friends aren’t willing to join each others instances?

    I guess the easy solution here to to make it use oauth2 authentication. Then you can just authenticate using one account elsewhere. If fediverse services also at some point become oauth2 providers, then even better.

      That’s still not a solution. That entails non unified communication, access, and search. Making it easy to log in to others still doesn’t solve easy sharing between others. Also oauth2 is a pain to set up, and many people hosting their own instance aren’t going to bother.

        Sorry but what exactly do you communicate and access between discord servers? Are you talking about PMs which are by default independent of servers?

        Unified search could easily be achieved through third party tools at the least, like for IRC. I don’t think even discord has unified search between servers.
