Kodablah's point is not that it couldn't work technically, only that there's no public pressure to force them to implement it.

Also, such federation, if not open to third parties (easy to justify with spam, malicious parties, etc) can actually strengthen the current big platforms against competition.

My suggestion is in the context of regulation. Of course there's no incentive for social networks to do this of their own accord.
