    Linked accounts: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7292

    Right now you can emulate this by putting your other instance links in your bio. I do think there should be a dedicated "linked instances" section which is more coordinated (only lets you link when you can access both accounts, and updates every other instance when you add a new one).

    I hope they add this feature soon enough. The nice thing is that anyone can add this feature, and if the devs approve it, most active instances will likely update. I won't be the one to though :)

    Your argument boils down to "run your own instance", which has specifically been addressed in the article. Perhaps instead of repeating the word "dumb", you could read it.

    Regarding "run your own instance": sure, just like we all are running are email servers, right? Shouldn't be that hard to set up, right?

    Not like there would be any issues with getting on one of the many blacklists[1] maintained by God knows who that you'd have no practical means to get removed from, right?

    Right.

    Yes there are a variety of implementations - perhaps you were searching "Mastodon" (the name of a single implementation) instead of "ActivityPub" (the name of the protocol)?
