I think some of the Mastodon problems about usernames and so could be solved by a federated trusted login/user server apart from the messaging server itself. So, a user could create his login on a server and use it on other servers, somewhat like a Kerberos/AD system
@HufflepuffBR so what do you suggest for each login server to be able to securely federate usernames and password hashs
@HufflepuffBR basically i think federated logins would just be abstracting the login problem into an even smaller federation where more problems occur if a single instance goes down
@b I think the login and messaging should be different things and an instance could be able to verify the user credentials on other instances, maybe with an web-of-trust system where instances could say which one they trust
