We're now observing the emergence of local instances, e.g. https://toot.berlin/ Interesting potential, but it seems to suggest the weakness of the community == instance == administrative policy == source of identity model. There are *many* possible communities I might participate in simultaneously, and even be interested in seeing, e.g., the local TL for that particular community.

Why should my identity and social graph position be tied to one, though?

@puellavulnerata I guess the concept of an identity should be on a higher abstraction level than a single instance account. Though multiple accounts just to be on multiple instances, which seems currently the only way, does not have a good user experience. Could be improved I guess...

@orionwl yes, my point exactly - there ought to be a portable identity abstraction which can then have posting rights in particular contexts
