The thing I find most interesting about this post is the Reddit login deprecation.
Reddit provides an OAuth2 IdP service... but is unhappy when platforms use it? I'm genuinely curious why they provide this service if their legal team then actively chases platforms that use it to get them to desist?

- bongobingo1 4y agoThey're pretty explicit in the email, the service has to be related to Reddit. OAuth login to edit all your comments in a react CMS? OK. OAuth login to to update you server dynamic ips? Not really Reddit focused. Really more of a failure on the API key generation page where you should (perhaps now do) have to click a "Yes, my thing extends or uses data from reddit" to get a key. What other auth system should they have used to allow 3rd party login, that some how also handles site intent?
