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

    That will work except for any communities you’ve created. Those couldn’t be ported to another instance because so many have the same names. Posts, comments, subscriptions and saved posts are all simple to transfer, but if you are a mod, there is a potential problem getting too cozy at any one instance. You could lose your work and earned reputation

      Absolutely.

      But no community is created by an individual. I guess that’s where choosing wisely, and trust come into play.
