@pixelfed we have very different ideas of “ridiculously simple” 😳

why not just use sign in with apple/google?

@brando While some user might not have concerns about their privacy, some do. So offering a way to create an account without having to rely on big tech companies is important.

Also, I'm not sure how much simpler it would make it. You would still need to enter your Google/Apple password, accept the request for permission, etc. I guess you would only skip the email confirmation step.

@narF no, you don’t need to sign in with any password. At least not for apple. And I only meant it as an optional way to sign up, not to remove the option of creating a password.

@brando Well, maybe someone will want this option enough to write the code needed. Or maybe you can help with that?

@narF I wish I knew how to do that but I really don’t

@brando Thats thé thing: not many people know how to work with Google and Apple stuff. But if you want to help, you could check the code repository if there already a feature request for that and write one if not.
