Our identities are too closely coupled to the medium (your handle exists on your server, your handle exists only on pixelfed etc.).

We should separate identity into one of two options, a DNS based identity (e.g. like email, and how mastodon lets us bring our own domain), or a pub/private key (ala nostr.com/). The identity should be portable between services and allow apps to aggregate content into one interface, kind of like how OpenID was supposed to be...
