Back in June I wrote about an exciting confluence of digital auth tech:

(1) The commodification of #OIDC infrastructure, (2) the emergence of #FedCM, (3) and the compatibility of both with #indieauth .

In short, it is now easier than ever to log into web applications using your own website as an identity provider. Or at least, it would be, if your favorite web apps supported these agency-enhancing technologies.

    I’m not going to pretend I grasp the technological details of either Weird or the Leaf protocol, but the basic concept of superpowering the personal website as identity provider is very attractive — and the passion of your writing is infectious 🙂 I hope to someday reach a lightbulb moment with your work and just implement it on my own site.

    Are the people who invented this aware of NOSTR?
    If so, what makes this different? And if not, perhaps we could use NOSTR to bridge the gap in the fediverse at the moment between NOSTR users and Mastodon/Pixelfed/Lemmy/KBIN/MBIN users

    I started forking Lemmy for an inventory system but then realized that NOSTR was far more suited to that and other applications that require security and encryption.

      i thought nostr was just where all the trolls are going because they can truly be anonymous shitheads.

      am i wrong in thinking nostr has massive moderation issues that far exceed even what lemmy is going through?
