Chris MartinSo is there a way to link identities betweeen different GNU Social networks? If I switch from Mastodon to a different network, I can still talk to everyone but do I lose all my followers?
I guess this isn't any better or worse than the situation with email addresses. If you decide you don't want to use Gmail anymore, you gotta give everybody your new address.
potchIt's pretty frustrating how bad the internet identity situation still is.
bob@chris_martin you're right, if only everyone had adopted Microsoft Passport everything would be solved
@chris_martin the incentives are against solving it so it will probably never be solved
@chris_martin chcheing, naming things, and key management?
@parataxis If you don't go crazy paranoid about your keys, you can just put them in lastpass or something
Christopher Kruse@chris_martin @parataxis If you can make *that* something that your general user is capable of, then you might have a story. Until then, all the nerds get their GPG.
oreolek 🍂@chris_martin mobile numbers are even worse because you have to SMS people
