Mastdon and Fedi seems to doing fine without any ID.

Sure. Right up until the point someone randomly takes it upon themselves and pushes a whole bunch of PRs that just get approved despite a bunch of people saying "wait, slow down, I'm not sure this is right for this long list of reasons" which moderators close because they don't want to deal with it.

I hope we learn something useful from systemd, but I don't know. I think part of the insidiousness of it is how fast it happened and how so many steps along the way only involved "Claude" rather than even really any humans to make the decision with human opposition just shut down and silenced.

It's not impossible that this could happen to Mastodon. That proved it.
