Pixelfed's announcement post

Vanya Hargreeves (subtitled "Pixelfed introducing Google single sign-on") and Number Five (subtitled "PieFed dropping Google single sign-on") drive by each other in their cars. Both are suprised to see each other.

Your final sentence is an issue as big as any imagined binary blob yet you present it as no big deal.

The problem with the web has been centralization. SSO is centralization.

    Yes, but the reason people still use SSO is that security is hard. If a website uses SSO, they don't need to store any password information. Reuse of tech and keeping the number of sources that have sensitive data small, are good.

    Priorities and orders of magnitude. If we can get people to quit instagram and to join pixelfed, I think that's a relative improvement, even if the google SSO is still not ideal. You are right, SSO with google is not ideal.
