Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

* FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
* Shared/Single Sign On
* Easy cross posting
* Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
* Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

I think the biggest issue is account management. Having all these different instances wouldn't be as bad if it were easy to switch accounts or combine their subscriptions, making it truly user-driven instead of depending on the behavior of each individual instance.

There are some tools that can help with this but I don't think completely automatically. I don't use any of them.

See: https://github.com/dbeley/awesome-lemmy#tools - scroll up and down the page too might be something that suits you
