What is probably needed is a 3rd party vouching account system. A bit like how email accounts are used today, but with a back-channel that allow you to get reputation from the places you join with that account and that in turn makes it easier to join other places.

Fediseer runs a bit like that.

That's for instances, not accounts, no?

Yeah. A bit like that.
