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.

By single sign on I didn’t mean using Google etc, but an account from one of the sorts of trusted platforms I suggested. I’m not talking about a single server/platform. But multiple at such scales that you can use only one if you want, but which are otherwise unified by infra-network SSO and aggregating clients, all tempered by operating within networks of trust.
