When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with "one account to rule them all" solution?

if the fediverse succeeds, isnt it inevitable?

the whole 'one account' thing wont really exist though, as they would be blocked by a metric shit-tonne of instance owners who are either terrified or just plain butt-hurt that corporations might take part that those admins will block the big players.

this will leave users needing to find neutral instances in order to obtain 'one account to rule them all'

i find nothing to fear here.
