Have an activitypub/fediverse sign-on rather than limit it to Mastodon, Pleroma (and other Branded platforms)

Sure you could add a WordPress logo to the list, but the platform isn't what is meaningful here...

Quite incompatible...

We're not quite there yet, but things are moving in the right direction. Mastodon has a plan which will make this a lot easier if it becomes widely accepted.

Today, though, most Fediverse sign-on implementations I've seen start by looking at the NodeInfo response and then doing

    if software == "mastodon" {
        ...
    } else if software == "pixelfed" {
        ...
    } else ...

Which, er ... "has some downsides".]]>https://citiverse.it/post/https://zotum.net/item/b5f69b76-a5b8-492c-8ffb-2c0c89492e79https://citiverse.it/post/https://zotum.net/item/b5f69b76-a5b8-492c-8ffb-2c0c89492e79Thu, 29 Oct 2026 08:42:44 GMT
