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

From my understanding, a current goal is to make any account transferable, in case the instance the account is attached to decides to shut down/defederate?

If implemented, we can hope that won’t be tied to an instance shutdown.

Absolutely.

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