With the explosion of #Pixelfed and most likely #Loops soon one of the things I've been pondering about the workings of the Fediverse is now becoming critically obvious.
People expect their "fediverse account" to work across "the fediverse" and I consider their expectation to be quite valid.
I can create/login to my Xbox Live account using my Gmail address. Let's totally discard any technical differences and just focus on the user experience here.
"I am @xyz@mastodon.something, I also want to use Pixelfed, so let me login to pixelfed.furry with it and just have stuff magically sort themselves out"
That's a good User Story, and we should fulfill it. Power users can create separate accounts, regular users should just need to click a single button.
From a technical point of view, I consider this to be fully solvable by making #Fediverse instances be Oauth services (or the like). Details to be sorted out ;)
Let's squash the myth that open source never considers #UX!
