@rapta@floss.socialIs there a unified solution for accessing all of the #Fediverse using a single account while having access to each service's unique capabilities?
@pinkyfloyd why does OYD require a phone number?
There are many other, anonymous 2FA methods, such as TOTP (what I use for all my accounts).
I would not recommend using a phone number for verification by any (emphasis) means.
@rapta I am also curious to know this. If you find out, please do report back.
@theaxer Tell others to boost too, we'll get an answer eventually!
@rapta Pixelfed is supposed to allow signing in with a Mastodon account later this year :
https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110694850841390105
Let's hope other fediverse projects follow suit.
@peyremorgan Well that would not be the solution..
I'm talking about a single account, a single server, all the services. It might sound like a lot now that I look down to it, so the solution you mentioned could be a way around it (I hate workarounds with a passion but I guess I could accept that)
@rapta I see. Librem One offers a Matrix server and a Mastodon server accessible with a single account but I can't recommend their service (their Mastodon server was very out of date last time I checked, and that could be a security concern). Maybe another company offers something similar? I can't help further, sorry.
@rapta just had this pointed out to me by @strypey - https://activitypods.org/ - it might the path towards what you're describing.

Disclaimer: I haven't tested this yet, but I love the concept of making use of both ActivityPub and Solid.
@rapta Not yet as far as I know
@rapta something like this? https://www.ownyourdata.site/
I haven’t used it myself so I can’t really vouch for it though
@ilyess Well that looks just about it! I will give it a try
@pinkyfloyd I'll register once I return home (tomorrow)!
if you just want to stay notified, https://friendica.ownyourdata.site is the best place (and you don't need to verify a mobile number there)
currently only USA/Canada telephone numbers are accepted for registration but that will be updated soon.
@pinkyfloyd but, #ownyourdata supports Mastodon too, right?
as a project we're trying to stay away from fediverse "brand" names like Mastodon, Matrix, etc. but at the same time definitely not hiding the tools we use under the hood!
@pinkyfloyd From what I can tell Plemora fedirates perfectly with Mastodon, which is cool.
About the brands: Well this might be a good move, but the name of each service helps identifying what each does and how it can be useful, thus reaching out to more people.
we also want to make sure users can easily migrate both in and out, fwiw this account was originally created on a masto server then migrated to the solo pleroma instance i currently use.
also the plan is to offer a "bridging" service to new users if they want to fully migrate off of legacy social media. mirror their posts, scheduled posts to let their followers know, etc.
@pinkyfloyd yes that is perfect
@pinkyfloyd It is why the Fediverse users are people, not products!! #Fediverse #noBigTech
our model is that all the money goes into a dao that makes grants to (effectively altruistic) projects nominated by participants and users.
instead of buying up hawaii or something like that.
@pinkyfloyd A phone number? Would you consider an email verification instead?
i need to make it clearer that https://signup.ownyourdata.site is more for enterprise customers in USA/Canada, a "regular" (?) user from those or any other country should register at our friendica site, https://friendica.ownyourdata.site
hope that helps! :)
i'll go add a message to the site rn
@pinkyfloyd @rapta ah I see. Thanks :)
fossfeed.com is the "enterprise-first" version of OYD that stresses our saas suite (nextcloud, mattermost, wordpress, synapse, etc) as the primary reason for registration (business & orgs) and then offers a total federated social media presence (words/pics/vids) as a "bolt-on" to that service.
if you register at friendica.ownyourdata.site, there's no phone number required, that's the "consumer-first" side of the coin. regular "consumer" users can bolt on the saas platforms if they wish.
@pinkyfloyd Are the credentials encrypted when stored on your servers?
@pinkyfloyd what about the phone number, email address etc?
while i do appreciate the probing, this is not even an alpha-level project at this point. if you think it has flaws we're looking for developers ;)
people were asking to register and i needed a place to sign them up so i wrote one quick.
@pinkyfloyd Is the website hosted anywhere (Codeberg, Gitea, Forgejo, GitHub etc.) where people can open up issues and PRs?
Also, is there a future plan of adding TOTP for 2FA and perhaps allowing for non-number verifications?
Either way I'm no programmer yet but I am attending many lessons so that I can improve my coding skills, and, very likely, contribute to this project :)
if you're willing to provide the budget and staff to do things 100% by the book rn lmk ;)
@pinkyfloyd Regarding that, read: https://floss.social/@rapta/110708360681713687
my only point is, please give us a little time to build a product worth wanting instead of an idea, first...
we're going to be able to offer a lot of great tertiary features in the very near future but today, this week, the priority is standing up an alpha MVP :)
@pinkyfloyd I totally agree and I will contribute everywhere I can!
@pinkyfloyd but still, I believe it should be an option rather than an enforcement
@rapta I was expecting something like that when I first joined Mastodon to be honest. It'd be really neat if that was how it worked
@Nyla_Smokeyface Well, https://www.ownyourdata.site is being developed for that reason
