>Codeberg supports account creation and sign-in with GitHub login, so there really are no excuses IMO. One extra click for any existing GitHub user to comment on a Codeberg repo.

Your simplification of the steps is incorrect. I just did this "sign-in with Github" workflow and it's not just 1 click. After using Github to authorize Codeberg, it still requires new users to enter a valid email. Codeberg then requires verification of that email address by the user clicking on the url in the email.

(And the email address step above also adds more behind-the-scene steps for me since I always create email aliases for every service to manage spam.)

Not sure what friction is removed by signing in with Github rather than just registering a new account email address directly with Codeberg.

Not having to set another password. That is the biggest PITA that makes people groan when creating new accounts.

Passwordless FIDO2 is of course the best solution, not OIDC.
