Kind of a weird thought I’ve been kicking around…

So, it’s possible to use the Mastodon API for sign-in and authentication, right?

Would it be possible to leverage a remote Mastodon account as a user account in a Web app, then give it the ability to create an Activity within the app, without creating a Note on Mastodon?

I’ve been kind of thinking about having an app where people can sign in and submit Event activities to a Group. I don’t want to create a bunch of Actor accounts, but I don’t mind the idea of having a Group Actor delegate on behalf of signed-in users with MastoAPI.

If this sounds like “Poor Man’s c2s”, yeah, that’s basically it.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.wedistribute.org/objects/0a9393fb-6d07-4ba1-abc4-87c77e78465e on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
