Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can’t get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

* FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to …
* Shared/Single Sign On
* Easy cross posting
* Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
* Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

    Sorry but I fail to understand the relation between your question and the additional text.

    Are the bulletpoints requirements for a less over-engineered attempt ?

    Or are they examples of the current situation?

    And just software without protocol seems. … oversimplification.
