Someone more versed in social media could perhaps explain this to me...

Are you able to "sign up once" and be able to log into every instance of Mastodon? Would having a "central profile" database break everything it stands for?

I really like the idea. At the end of the day though, people usually follow the path of least resistance. Hence why reddit "wins" over forums (obv forums are much better for many things but you know).

It seems like something I would be interested in. I have been, since before this twitter drama even started. Someone tried explaining it back then and it sorta made sense. Perhaps its changed in the mean time though?
