We need portable identities first
People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author's name.
Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I'm aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.
Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.
You mean porting ones account from one instance to another? With all the data? to be honest, since lemmy is way more open a scraper could be developed for this purpose by anyone (using the lemmy api). Because of this lemmy accounts are already more portable than a reddit account.
That could is doing so much heavy lifting its on it's way to win Mister Universe.
