You can't expect all GNU Social instances to be open for public registration, that's not what fedaration means. loadaverage.org seems to be open to everyone though. Also, do you have an OpenID?
- zanny 11y agoI would be amazed if someone doesn't have an account with any of these websites: http://openid.net/get-an-openid/ http://openid.net/get-an-openid/ Though I do believe Google has gotten rid of their Openid implementation entirely in favor of Openid Connect.
- dcw303 11y agoFrom that list, I only have a google account. I tried the link for the Profile URL, but it's sending a 404. Perhaps that's because they've gotten rid of their Openid implementation as you say. I'm sure there are ways around it. The point I was trying to make is that I thought that there would be more effort put into a frictionless signup. To be fair, I haven't checked out the other sites linked from the gnu page, so I don't know if they have a better experience.
- st3v3r 11y agoThen why don't they just come out and say that? If they want people to use the service, they have to make it as friction free as possible. Otherwise people will give up.
