Why does federated software like Lemmy not use SSO from common providers?
  • Large centralized platforms are far far less likely to shut down than small, compartmentalized instances....

    edit: Take Lemmy for instance, there's tons of new instances starting up, but many will likely end up shutting down, because the reality is, hosting a service is serious work. Most people don't actually know what's involved in hosting something like this.

  • undefined> O allows you to be tracked across platforms. There is nothing that ties my Lemmy account to any other account I have somewhere else.

    huh? How does it track across all platforms? Your SSO token is completely private, and the lemmy instance can do whatever it choses with it. How can any platform track what you are doing? lol.

  • I don't understand why it's against federation. It's no different than an instance offering sign-ins which are federated across all instances. In fact, it's worse, anyone could create an instance and create malicious users.

    It seems like an easy way to share users across multiple instances without having to deal with actual registration / bots.
