Is there a way to sign into multiple Fediverse instances using the same account? Or is it possible to merge account across instances? (kbin.social)

@AeonThoth No. The solution to that exists, and it's called DID (Decentralized Identifiers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_identifier), but for some strange reason, it's not used in the fediverse. Using the ID from one of the "traditional" providers (for example, Google or Facebook) still ties you to a corporation. The fediverse is a step in the good direction, but self-sovereign identity is a logical and inevitable step that it's still pending.
