    @hakui this is the guy who changed the software of an instance named gnusocial.me to mastodon because I wasn't going to help him do something incredibly insecure and dumb

        @nerthos Basically he wanted me to help him interface a login thing but he wanted to pass credentials unencrypted.  I told him oauth is the way to do a proper login for an app in GNU social or postActiv and he didn't like that.

          @archaeme @nerthos In a day where there's quite a few different ways to easily do secure login systems without transmitting passwords unencrypted there really isn't an excuse for it.
