I don't see why not. And in fact, they would benefit from the whole relay thing, allowing multiple accounts on different instances to be the "same" community

That could be an improvement over following 3 or 4 identically named communities on different instances

It wouldn't change that, unless the moderators of those communities agreed to merge them by using the same cryptographic identity.

Personally I like that there are different communities with different characters, but the option for community moderators to opt into such a nomadic arrangement would certainly not hurt. At least it is much better than if 3rd parties like clients or alternative implementations like Piedfed smash them together with currently no way for communities to opt out of that.

Yes, it should definitely be optional
