What does federation bring here? Aren't OpenID identities already collision free?

I'd love to have SSO under my own control, and while it was theoretically possible with OpenID 2 things have gone backwards with OIDC with everyone supporting it but restricting login to just the big names (Google, Facebook, Apple).

I put together a simple stateless OID2/OIDC identity provider: https://gitlab.com/rendaw/oidle but I have yet to find a website I can actually use it on. I still have hope though.



I had a classic OpenID server and every website I use to authentication against using it has gotten rid of OpenID support. Stackoverflow was the big one. I haven't tried OpenID Connect yet.

By the way I wanted to say I read that blog post a bunch of times while trying to put together that software! OpenStreetMap and GnuSocial may really be everything on the internet now.

I'd almost sign up for a website at this point just to get a chance to use my OID provider...
