I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).

If I stick my finger in someone else’s but, will it be me with the finger stuck in the but, or that other person?

Bears ☠️

They actually get dangerously close to them, to pet them and take photos of them and feed them, then these tourists wonder why are they being attacked…

Să avem și noi faliții noștri, nu?

Perhaps you are interpreting their request to not use username and site name and instead use email, to instead use a long form Lemmy username?

No, I was saying to use their Fediverse username and their Fediverse password. Sorry if I got misunderstood. Nothing to do with the actual email address used at signup.

To do so, there would need to be a centralized or federated list of all accounts

Why would there be? The app would just search for the domain name first (let’s say “aussie.zone”) and then your username (in your case “hitmyspot”). That’s kinda how email works as well. What centralized database would you need to interrogate a server on login? It’s no different than the current implementation, only that you do not need to remember the website first, just enter the whole username in one go.

Email providers also have oauth

It’s not really hard to type a website, it’s rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?

When you use your full address, it’s not that hard to remember it.
