   @maloki I want !fediverse discussion to be federated. Eating one's own dogfood etc.

     @gargron @maloki I'm thinking eventually a forum with its RSS/Atom feeds federating and accepting replies via some well known and implemented federated mechanism... So you don't have to register at the forum but choose whichever federated client you want to join the discussion. Some designed as microblogging tools with automagic feeds, some as forums, some as bridged mail clients and the occasional emacs OS client.

     @gargron @maloki ...or at least something where you can log in using #OpenID

     @maloki Something tells me #Discourse doesn't have an #OpenID plugin, because OpenID is too good and federated to be supported by capitalists.
     
     Jeff Atwood also said this incredibly stupid piece of garbage in a thread, showing his immense ignorance of the benefits of federation (maybe I _don't_ want to give out my email address!!! that's the whole POINT!!!):
     »The main broken assumption in openid was failure to associate email with user identity. Without email, we have no way to reach users.» source: https://meta.discourse.org/t/openid-login-to-meta/16115
     
     Our great friend @strk@brusio.pallamondo.net in the !fediverse has joined that discussion too and obviously there's still no properly federated (arbitrary enduser choice of authorization) login solution.

     @grmpyoldman Unfortunately being !fs doesn't in its own right mean being anti-capitalist. .(

     @grmpyoldman I mean. If the reason is "WE NEED YOUR EMAIL" then my question is "WHY DO YOU NEED MY EMAIL?". I don't want spam, I don't want them to sell my e-mail, I don't want whatever company that engulfs Discourse - because capitalists are just out to make money and will accept the highest bidder regardless of moral dilemmas - to get my contact info as part of the deal.

     @maloki I'll try to remember that.
