I mean between tools, no instances.

I want to share pictures (pixelfed) and videos (peertube), do have to create an account on one instance of each tool that I want to use? Is there a single point of entry somewhere?

It's not the fediverse's job to do that any more than it is HTTP's job to make sure that the person posting on Instagram and the person posting on TikTok are the same person.

Individual instances can choose whether or not to implement identity verification.

And yeah, I can "try" to impersonate you, just like I could with email. I could spin up a cheap domain and make an email address PabloDiscobar@impersonatePabloDiscobar.site .

I would like to see folks from outside of the instance more clearly marked with where they came from, though.
