@CaptMorgan@freeradical.zone that's kinda where my thinking is going, except I don't want it associated with m.s, either, or "mastodon", by name. We're already reaching a point where the impression that "Mastodon" is our only offering comparable to is doing harm to the rest of us, whether by capturing people, or putting people off.
The FediProfile app demo'd today lets a user create their profile with a LinkedIn sign-on, though otherwise it doesn't allow communication with that platform.

@CaptMorgan@freeradical.zone But that still requires that a new fedizen be at the very least someone with a LinkedIn identity. Arguably a worse situation than say, a "sign in with Google". And does not address my "grandma" use case. How do we easily welcome the completely naive user who has not yet had a social networking application but wants to just wants to check out the options? I'm definitely hypothesizing something that is, to us, and edge case and a reasonable response may be "why bother".
