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

Let's adopt the irc model: any user id for anyone :P

I wish there was a way links could auto-resolve to the instance I’m logged in with.

I think people are working on browser extensions to do that, and it would work for users & communities. As far as I can tell posts and comments are numbered by the instance, and don't correspond between instances, so there is no way to link them in an instance independent way.

You know you can interact with posts and users on other instances without having to login on their instance, right?

Cause it's decentralised. Which is good.
