- shurcooL 10y agoYep. My target audience has a GitHub account already, and I'd rather not force them to create yet another account on my personal site just to comment or leave a reaction. It also works well as a quality filter. People with a GitHub account will be much more responsible with their words, compared to anaonymous posters or throwaway accounts, since they have a professional reputation to maintain.

- arjie 10y agoNow that's a feature I'd get behind: the ability to select out people I'd rather not talk to. The one you mention is a nice positive effect.
