  So what they are doing is "boosting" a traditional video they have, maybe one with a paid sponsor, and if thr viewer watches 15 seconds it counts as a view on the orginal video. They are trying to artificially pump their views the legal way on YouTube.

  I'm intrigued by the IndieAuth thing where you can input a domain but your final identifier is a page specific to you on that domain - seems like it could help avoid users having to register their own domain or remember their full URL
  

  so it turns out this works. I can type in “aaron@parecki.com” in an indieauth prompt and it works. because that is a URL.

  😢 @aaronpk knows my stance on this well - domain-based auth is exclusionary and confusing to users. IndieAuth should just use email addresses, even if it's not doesn't use webfinger and just does s/@([^.*]\..*$/\1/ with the address.
  

  There is no obligation that you have to register your own domain for IndieAuth to work. I’ve talked about this at ActivityPub Conference showing how they can use IndieAuth to enable a standards-based app ecosystem for ActivityPub/Mastodon apps. That of course uses shared domains.

  In the meantime, IndieAuth is, imho, a step backwards. OAuth/OIDC sign-in with login_hint works *great*; the lack of auto-/no-registration / a public key version is a real bummer, though.
  

  This one I’m really confused on, and we should probably chat about it to clear things up. IMO OIDC is more of a barrier here because the default is that clients need to register. With IndieAuth there is no expectation of client registration at all.

  I thought that was valid with RelMeAuth but not IndieAuth - how can I get that working as an IndieAuth client?
  

  I’ll admit it’s a bit of a “hack”. The trick is “aaron@parecki.com” is a URL because if you assume the http scheme then you get http://aaron@parecki.com which is a username but no password with HTTP basic auth. The server can switch what it returns based on that username.

  As a client developer you have to: 1) follow the spec by assuming “http” if no scheme is entered, and 2) allow the user-entered URL to contain a username component.

  Thanks, filed an issue https://github.com/simonw/datasette-indieauth/issues/21
  

  To be clear, I’m not sure this is a *good* idea, and it also requires a bit of code running at the web server of the root domain, but it does work.

  Email addresses *are* domain-based auth. I think you’re conflating two different parts of the system. In IndieAuth, the canonical user identifier doesn’t have to be the thing the user enters in a login prompt. This is also true for almost every other authentication system.

  Yeah, client registration is a hold-over, and unnecessary for domain validation (same as letsencrypt). It's unfortunate OIDC didn't do a better job here. To be clear, I'm totally pro-IndieAuth, because the _protocol_ doesn't matter as long as it's secure. It's the UX / messaging.

  My goal is to enable secure, simple federated identity. Authentication is a core bit of functionality in that regard. Obviously supporting non-corporate identities is critical, but forcing everyone to be 'indie' is a mistake, I think.
  

  nobody said "force". my goal is to *enable* indie identities, something that is pretty much completely glossed over by the current OIDC ecosystem.

  I don't agree that it's completely glossed over - there is a registration protocol, it's just not widely implemented. The intent could be better stated, for sure, but I think IA's emphasis is too far the other way. My ideal is something in-between IndieAuth and OIDC, I think! 😊
