The Fediverse Passport would be the central account for all users on the Fediverse.

How it would work

a. Upon signing up for the a platform on the Fediverse the user would be redirected to the "Create your Passport" You would create your unique username. Once signed up you would then have an account on every platform connected to the Fediverse.

b. If someone friends/follows you on one platform they would automatically follow you on all platforms. Insuring that communities and friends could stay connected across platforms.

c. The passport for the user would show your feed on all platforms and allow you to selected which platform you want to see your feed from, also allowing you to directly search your content so you could find a post for whatever reason you need.

d. For the subscriber it would show them your feed and allow them to easily find your content.

e. Tons of customization options including the ability to monetize and or set a subscription fee for the video, blogging, and other "arts" platforms.

Safe Guards

You would be allowed to set your privacy setting to, Public, Subscribers Only, Approve Subscribers, Mutual Friends only, Private (Requires link)

Benefit

Would allow stream less interaction across the whole Fediverse and really get it going. No more having to create a different account on each platform and now you can claim an identity and keep track of your communities, also each site would directly help "advertise" the others.

I am not quite sure how this works - where is my "passport" created? On a centralized platform? What if I want to have different accounts on different instances?

Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature but connected to the fediverse and accessable through the main fediverse website as well.

We could allow for duplicate username with a unique 10 digit code identifier allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for each platform.

Really? This is the key to understanding that you don't even know what you're talking about.

Who would manage this platform?

What would their business model be?
