@damon Your point is a different point than the one I try to make in a very short post.

Your point: use different software.
My point: choose an instance, not software.

@ShadSterling @damon I think we need to get to the point where each instance operator communicates directly with their prospective user where their prospective users are likely going to hang out. Say: libraries for instances focused on literature, or furry conferences for instances focused on furries. Avenues through something like joinmastodon.org (which are software-focused) should be secondary at best.

@ShadSterling @damon We need to get to identities that aren't tethered to particular instances. Various approaches have been discussed, all more or less valid IMHO, we just need to get them implemented.

Then, if you can log into @ShadSterling with myself@shadsterling.com or shadsterling@myidprovider.com, is your concern still valid?
