Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

Cause it's decentralised. Which is good.

I think you should more clearly define how it would work and what features you want. Then, all the technical problems will soon surface and you will see that it is not as appealing anymore.

How do you log in? How do you reconcile people with the same name? Which instance are you representing? There are tons of difficult questions that make the idea impractical.

You don't need either. It's not about places, so much as it's about people and conversations.

Maybe you only have used corporate centralized giant sites? Believe me, that was the anomaly.

You can't and don't visit every cafe, every club, every library, you mostly visit a few locals and seek out the rest.

Same thing here. Also with this you get actual diversity. You can change instances and still see everything!

You just have to learn how this new system works. It's far far better.
