@feditips@cazzztle i think it’s a potential barrier to entry for users. from my perspective, i see a “service” as various platforms with a specific purpose. pixelfed for sharing images (a la instagram), peertube for video sharing, and mastodon for microblogging. whereas “federation” is being able to access content on other instances without having to leave your home “pane of glass”, ex: seeing kbin posts on mastodon.
SSO may reduce barrier to entry for discrete services if you want to use them.
