I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.

      Yes, but that is not how Oauth2/OIDC works (the old OpenID did, but it has been largely abandoned).

      One of the reason this approach was abandoned is that these external login automations are very easily abused for spam if you allow arbitrary instances as the auth endpoint.

        you could accept logins only from instances that have enough trust on fediseer, I think this would work better than the old openid
