Could a "login with lemmy" replace all the login with Google/Facebook we see everywhere? (lemmy.fbmac.net)

I love the convenience of not having to create a password everywhere I need to be authenticated. It would be interesting to be able to use lemmy instead of feeding more information to these big corporations.

I feel like logging in with Facebook and Google on sites is just as much about them gaining access to scrape more info about you as it is for your "convenience." While there could be value with Lemmy, it's not nearly what it is with Facebook and Google. So I would say not likely.

It absolutely is, anytime you see a login with Facebook it is about tracking you. Even if you are Not logged in, and you do Not use the button, the Facebook Pixel is still there tracking you.

Hence why I block it.
