Apologies, I wasn't intending it as rude, I was just trying to get across what it meant technologically.
" allow half the web to use Gmail, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other trusted servers to log into completely different services."
Again, not intended as rude, but I think there might be some disagreement over what constitutes trusted.
I would never use Google or Twitter or Microsoft accounts to log in on another service, and they are all centralised services.

I realise Google etc are very widespread and convenient because of that, but society is paying a heavy price for relying on such centralised services, especially as their business model is built around spying on their users.
The idea of the Fediverse is to offer an alternative to such surveillance and centralised hegemony.
