ActivityPub could be a little more portable through the use of OIDC. You could even separate identities from instances!

    As an engineer who has wasted far too much time at work updating, fixing, and implementing integration with identity providers, I can totally empathize with why this hasn’t been done yet. These fucking standards are so complicated to understand let alone implement.

      It’s unfortunate the federated part of OpenID died. There are plenty of OpenID clients for all kinds of languages that will Just Work if you just pass them the right four magic variables and something like Keycloak is surprisingly easy to maintain once you’ve got it set up right.
