openid in geminispace
i was saying that there is no need in social networks since internet is a social network.
we have sites, the updates is possibre to fetch anonymously via rss.
but if we wanted to comment with our identity, then openid was the way.
so rss+openid solves almost all what we use activity pub for (i was gonna write except private messages, but even private can be done).
if we adopt something like openid or openid in geminispace, i think that will cover most of our needs.
federation between bbs's was discussed, that also is not needed if i am from this bbs can comment in other bbs by being authorized with openid.

solderpunk have been written about gontent redistribution with git.
indeed, instead of rss we can use git. then sites or capsules dont need to have only one updatable feed. every chang on any page can be fetched by our git reader.
and with gemini it will work best because if i added an image to my image gallery, gemini forces it to be on separate line. thus my git diff will contain only that change.
i can just add the image to the gallery and the change will be toticed by remote readers.
before reading solderpunks text i was thinking to use custom simple rsn generator from alr pages, or to use git to generate rss.
but now if we pull instead, then we can comment as pull request git way.

i mean i think i read that pure git has this functionality without github/gitlab pull requests even.

i just expressed somewhere else on bbs that it's a pity we don't have gemlog comments, and i thought that wait, what i wanted by saying 'openid' is
so what if my gemini browser client keypair is the same as on my capsule? by using those keys, will be the random gemlog able to make sure that i am indeed who i say, the person behind that capsule? so what if my gemini client keypair is the same as on my capsule? by using those keys, will be a gemlog able to make sure that i am indeed who i say?

i realize that would only work in case the capsule is run by the same person who configured it, i. e. bubble has many users and only one keypair they don't have access to. however subdomains can have their own keys, so if i host a capsule for my family or friends, where each member has own subdomain, i can give them the keypairs to install in gemini client and present themselves as someone from that subdomain. would that work?

hmmm, i think there was some other place to comment, there was a discussion, and here i only see my own comments.
