We need to separate identity from servers in the ActivityPub world. It's time. I should be able to have a single identity and use it with lots of servers from Mastodon to Lemmy and beyond.

Then, various instances could reflect different communities with different people in them, different features and policies.

This also would elegantly solve the "instance selection paralysis" in @tchambersTim Chambers 's Deadly Fediverse UX sin #1.

Fortunately @benpateBen Pate 🤘🏻 is starting to assemble people to solve this.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://j12t.social/users/j12t/statuses/114705580486516177 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
