When I use @Mastodon on the web, I invariably type "mastodon.com" in error and have to retype "fosstodon.org".

I'd like to see all logins happen on mastodon.com and redirect to the server you're authenticated on.

@gs centralized instance authentication seems like a bad idea @Mastodon

@obi @Mastodon Not a centralized instance, rather a service to automatically direct the user to the right instance.

@gs Which would need to have a centralized user database , otherwise, how would it know where to redirect you? @Mastodon

@obi @Mastodon Does a centralized database of usernames conflict with a decentralized network of servers.

@gs @Mastodon depends. Maybe not in this instance, but I could see arguments on both sides of that question. Just seems like a solution to a nonexistent problem. But that's just my opinion, which doesn't mean much ha
