@flying_saucers not even suggesting that's a "centralized identity", just a starting point to *very easily* create a PORTABLE, fediverse identity when you haven't the first hint of an inkling of a clue what you're getting into or how to choose a format or a particular platform that implements that format or a particular instance of a platform or a particular "community" that accidentally collected on an instance ...
How does "grandma" sign up w/one click on a phone app and just read along?

@flying_saucers Almost all of this is already happening, with @anewsocial 's Bridgy & Bounce, the parts where we've got your 3rd or 4th or 18th ActivityPub server letting you "log in with Mastodon", and now @fediprofile is sneaking in with "sign on with whatever ya got". But there's nothing for people who aren't already here. Those are the people who won't leave Xitter/Meta/LinkedIn because their "identity" is only present behind those walls.
