Forcing signup via oAuth with a service that does some sane email verification might be an easy route.
- mike-cardwell 9y agoEasier to just send an email with a verification link to the sender address. Should at least honour DKIM and SPF.
- 19eightyfour 9y agoYes I agree this is a good idea because it's not too burdensome on me or on the humans. I'll think more about this if their is some easier or "better way" I'll do that but otherwise this might be what we do. Thanks.
- 19eightyfour 9y agoThat's not bad, thanks. My caution is that this would exclude people who use one of the long tail email addresses. Their own domain, or some obscure provider. And I think specifically I would like to include those people. Certainly not let them feel their emails are "secondary citizens" - even tho when it comes to integrations like oauth they are secondary. Because I think the fringe has a story to tell and I want to encourage people from "interesting domains" to come. At least that's what I in my unspoiled internet innocence want. Maybe it's not a good idea, but ... See what happens. Most probable thing is no one uses it, so maybe this is a "problem I'd love to have" at this stage. Thanks.
