They're going to fight an anti-trust suit by ... forming a cartel?
Google, Facebook Agreed to Team Up Against Possible Antitrust Action, Draft Lawsuit Says - WSJ https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-facebook-agreed-to-team-up-against-possible-antitrust-action-draft-lawsuit-says-11608612219 -
Just to throw this out there, IndieAuth is a very small addition to OAuth 2.0 which adds identity into the system in a much lighter weight way than OpenID Connect. Mastodon could easily add this extension to return the user ID of the user who just authenticated. The login form on OwnCast would ask the user to enter their server name, and do discovery on the server to send the user there to log in.
I did a talk about how Mastodon/ActivityPub apps can use IndieAuth to accomplish this kind of thing. The video is available -- of course -- on my website: https://aaronparecki.com/2020/09/22/25/activitypub-oauth-2-1

Promote chat participants to moderators
Once the ability to delete chat messages exists, it'd be great to be able to promote other chat participants to moderators so that they can also help delete messages.continue reading... -

sometimes I wonder if I should stop self-hosting email and reserve self-hosting for decentralized communication systems which are not architecturally doomed
Self-hosting email is a lost cause IMO. Also it's not going to get any easier, so better to spend that energy on more productive things. -

@aaronpk curious did that work for you?
Sure did! Vouch can sit in front of anything and I've used it to add login to a bunch of different kinds of things. The login page I set up is a super minimal OAuth-compatible page so that Vouch only has to speak OAuth to it but that proxy just accepts a single password to let people thru. I might do a blog post about it cause it was kind of cool!
