About this class

Authentication Manager.

Designed to be decentralized.

Goal: Tie any non-bot player slot to an account somewhere on the web. Multiple sources could be used to verify identities. In our implementation, we'll be mainly targeting ActivityPub as it is a W3C standard and therefore best suited for this purpose.

Non-goal: Do not ask players to sign up to a new service. Do not collect, sell or transmit user data under any circumstances. Do not implement the authentication to be tied to a single external service or specific implementation of a standard. Do not discriminate on behalf of server administrators.

Justification: Remote identities can be used as storage, but can also help tie multiple sessions to a single identity. It can also be used by single server administrators (or their networks) to moderate. You could limit sessions or participation to instances that select identities may belong to in a non-punishing way as well. This is meant to be neutral.
