On #Fediverse, I have an address `arinbasu1@social.arinbasu.online`. I can jump into my #Pleroma instance and share whatever I want to share. Can I use `arinbasu1..` when I jump into a #Calckey server or a #Mastodon server? I cannot. I have to tie my identity to a server and then using _only_ that server I can communicate with the rest of the Fediverse. Which is fine but also creates a bloat. I can sheet anchor myself in my own instance at `social.arinbasu.online` and can read/write but to meet new people, and new conversations, I will still need to visit other instances. I wish there was an easier way to do things than that. This is also an aspect that many people, who come to fediverse from a walled garden such as twitter, rue, as they find it hard to negotiate with the medium first and then they will have to `create identities` everywhere first to read/write content. So, in this sense #Fediverse is like email, that with one identity you can read/write content and share with people.
Yet, you need to create separate identity in `each server` you have your account. It is not like you can push/pull to/from everything everywhere. #Nostr has upended this limitation, it seems. Here, I _start_ with an id, which, in my case, is, arinbasu@iris.to, but then with this id, I also get a public id ,
npub17vs8nsgxt2r3saj6w4089z05xvvkahj7urqs7jkdz9329s4cj5qquwmr5w
and a private id.
That private id acts like my login everywhere or all other apps I visit, and that's it. So I can visit any `service` such as damus, or iris, or coracle, login with my associated private id, and I am in. Then everything depends on how I tweak my relay list, as the more relays I will subscribe to, the more I will receive in my Global feed, and the more likely my `voice` will reach wider. I can even store my ideas to my own created relay and read/write when I want if I want.
In theory I will never need another identity with another app unless I need a special user case (even then). The magic is how I decide to tweak my relay list and do what I want to do.
Beat that!
