What concerns me about the #fediverse / #acrivitypub from a user‘s perspective, is the inflation of identities that will occur as soon as you want to use feature that the platform you started on does not offer.
I am aware that this also can happen, when you use closed services, but …
A) this on of the things that make Google or Meta attractive.
B) federation to me implies the integration of several services under one identity.
So, is a #FederatedIdentity something that is being considered?

🗝️ A new #eduGAIN constitution was approved in September 2023.

A milestone for the service that within 12 years grew from taking its first steps into interfederation to what is now the foundation of many services in the T&I space.

And because it would be an open protocol, you could decide who you trust with your personal data. Sure, you could use #Facebook or #Google, but there would be plenty of independent hosts, just like there are thousands of email providers and phone companies!

Or you could #SelfHost it on your own personal website/server if you have one. I can imagine extensions for Wordpress, Squarespace, Linktrees or wherever people host their website these days.
