@dansup@mastodon.social Full agree: the Fediverse needs to become easier and more familiar to use. But that should mean open, self-hostable standards too. I would really like to see #OIDC / #OpenID Connect as a built-in option — like #Mastodon supports, or #PeerTube can gain through plugins — alongside Sign in with Apple, Google, etc. For Pixelfed, an easy .env-based configuration for a generic OIDC provider would be ideal: issuer URL, client ID, client secret, scopes, redirect URI — done. That would let instance admins use #Keycloak, #Authentik, #Zitadel, their university/work SSO, or any other compatible provider. Does #Loops have plans for generic OIDC login? And is this planned for #Pixelfed as well? Making sign-up familiar matters. Making it interoperable and self-hostable matters just as much. #OpenIDConnect #SelfHosting #Fediverse
