Single Sign On doesn't mean that "American BigTech Servers" have to be used.
Essentially, for the users, it means that an account for site A can be used to login on site B because site A and site B trust each other.
A concept to Google if one wants to know more is "federated login".
Yea this is exactly what I was thinking about.
The idea being that there would be circles of trusted platforms and once you have an account with one you have an account on all of them. Which, I imagine, would allow easy/quick cross posting from one platform to another when desired and make it easier to build and maintain an aggregating client that allows you to view all the platforms within such a "circle of trust" that you're interested in through a unified interface.
