Comment on What principles you wish to see social networks (or the fediverse) adopt in their design?

Unified identity really needs a modification at the core of activpub. The issue at the moment is that a user is just an actor and an actor is just a url. What it needs to be is something like a did(distributed identity) which is what atproto (bluesky uses) does. And the did points to a list of actors that can be across multiple servers. The did has a private, public key pair and signs all activities by per server actors as ur user. What this means is u don’t need to trust any server with login details or anything and u can do activities acting as any instance you want.
