Do you think if SSO was possible across Federated platforms that it would help drive adoption of decentralized platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Kbin, and others?
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.

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.
I had a drunk conversation about this very thing last weekend with my brother. We thought about doing it as a crypto coin or NFT or some block chain thing. We got about as far as you expect 2 drunk people talking about something that they have a passing familiarity with but little actual technical knowledge of.
Someone much smarter than me might figure it out one day.
Yeah I'm not going to pretend like I know the technology but I hope it's possible.
