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.

It wouldn’t be centralized. There would be multiple instances and you’d choose which one to use to host your account.

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.

Hmmm what if there was a new fediverse service dedicated to hosting fediverse accounts. You would choose an instance of that service to create an account and then use that account to register with a fediverse instance of Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. Kind of like you can login to various websites with your Google or Facebook account.

That would mean a single account could be used with any Fediverse service (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.), all post history could be aggregated, and you could easily move from one instance to another.

Lemmy, Mastodon, etc., would have to be enhanced to accept this mode of registration of course.

It’s not essential for me that these different platforms talk to each other. A microblogging platform doesn’t need to (maybe even shouldn’t) integrate with a forum or vice versa. Each has its own role and muddying the water doesn’t bring any real benefit imo.

The fact that they are decentralized is what’s important and the fediverse makes that possible for all platforms built upon it.

Moving an account from one instance to another is a real issue though, I agree with you there. Defederation would become less of a problem if you could easily move your account (with its post history) and communities you moderate to an instance that aligns with what you’re looking for, assuming it exists. Ideally everyone would have their own personal instance, but that is probably not feasible for most people.

The stories say “a city in China,” but it might have been referring to a region near China. There are plenty of Chinese Muslims tho. The evil sorcerer claims to be his paternal uncle and he’s from Morocco or thereabouts, so Aladdin might have been an immigrant or half-Chinese.

Jasmine is actually a Disneyfication of the story. The Chinese Muslim princess was named “Badr Al-Badur” and she wore modest clothing and a face veil, but who in Hollywood wants to see that? Hence the revealing outfit.

I don’t recall them moving away from the Chinese city upon marriage, but it’s all fiction at the end of the day…

I met a dude with this name too. It was pronounced alaa ud-deen.

The original Aladdin (assuming any story can really claim to be the original) was a Chinese Muslim.

What exact behaviors are they looking for that would cause them to push the block button?

Threads can do very well for themselves without the fediverse as they are already demonstrating. What real motive do they have to join the fediverse except to shut it down?

I suggest separate accounts as you’ll have a better and fuller experience. If you want to participate on both with a single account, I hear kbin has that capability.
