Back when i checked out sr.ht, i really liked the idea of git-send-email precisely because it doesn't require making an account for everything. there's a nice tutorial for how to set it up: https://git-send-email.io/#step-1
worked easily enough for me, i could see myself using it for small patches here and there.
I did end up installing forgejo in my homelab after all, but back then it sounded like federation was much closer than it actually was. i did kind of expect that though, federation gets pretty complex quick.
every time i log into forgejo, i do see that juicy "proceed with OpenID" button though, and i've looked into running my own openid provider a few times - sadly not seeing anything that would work for me yet. honestly i can't believe we went from "facebook sign in" to "google sign in" and are now going to "github sign in" without a single open standard that's gotten some adoption.
