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

So should we display full usernames by default? What’s going to happen when someone important, IRL, wants to interact with Lemmy?

In a way yes it’s similar to email need to know if your @gmail or @yahoo.

As for “important” people, same noteworthy as any other thing. Only extra they could do is if they are with a company could have a server that is @target @mbl or @meta (though everyone might block the latter xp)

When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too
