Comment on Change My Mind: The Fediverse is not as connected as were told, and it's splintering even more.

I like your idea, though. It doesn’t solve the problem of moving your account from one Lemmy instance to another, for example, but it does reduce barriers to entry for other fediverse platforms.

If it’s not centralized then that’s where the trust issues come in. How can I trust another node on the network that I should authenticate User X when I don’t have the secret key?

I don’t really know the details of how “log in with your Google/Facebook account” works on other sites, but I imagine it’d work the same way. I’m no expert on this stuff tho.
