Disqus, but federated #ideas

openauth that get's enabled by the user through a single click, enabeling them to directly comment with their fediverse account.
thought people from #hubzilla have been working on something similiar. I don't know about the current status.
@macgirvin will know, in case it is of interest to you.

I donʼt think that can spread widely, unless itʼs a browser plugin. Mostly because getting browser vendors (except maybe Mozilla) to support such a feature natively would be extremely hard, if at all possible.

However, Mastodonʼs remote follow feature might be a good start. When you want to ♥ or share a post, a dialog would pop up asking what account to use. The site might even remember it in a localStorage object or something so you only have to click on your account.
Commenting is a much different beast, though. But might not be too hard.
The basic spec is here:
