Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

    If that’s given, every entity (@‘person, @‘community, …) on each instance is unique.
    Therefore, there can never be a duplicate identity = <entity>@<instance.domain>
    Which allows the general assumption (all implementations adhere to the standard) each instance (homing instance, where the user is based) can verify the every identity within it’s domain.
