What if, instead of spending all day at a digital governance forum trying to tactically schmooze 2-3 people into connecting on LI so maybe there will be some mutual follow-up through which I can try to make a later appointment with them and maaaayyybe have enough legitimacy as a Graduate Student to pitch a little social engagement experiment but not say anything scary like "tech" ...
What if I had a QR code they could scan, click "sign in with iCloud" and follow my public feed?

@johannab I see what you are saying and you do make a compelling argument. Maybe allowing single sign in with google or (god forbid) facebook has its uses. But also, someone can read your posts and profile without signing in, they just can’t reply. So you could make a simple one click sign up which would use an external authentication service. Not a terrible idea, but the idea of someone using a facebook ID to sign in to Mastodon does turn my stomach
