Why doesn't Farcaster use OAuth 2.0 like other social platforms?

Farcaster is built on a decentralized architecture whereas OAuth is build to establish trust between 3 separate parties. Breaking this down:

- in Farcaster users own their identity and authenticate via a cryptographic signature without an intermediary; in OAuth a centralized services own the identity and a user has to request that 1st party authenticate them to the 3rd party app

for devs: SIWF / Quick Auth = OAuth Sign In

- in Farcaster the data is public and replicated, anyone can permissionlessly access the data via the Snapchain network; in OAuth your data is controlled by a single entity and applications need to request permissions to access to data, subject to the platforms approvals and limits (e.g. X charges $5k+++ for data access)

for devs: Snapchain / infra providers like Neynar = OAuth APIs accessible with a Bearer token

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

no but fr why doesn't Farcaster use oauth 2.0 like other social platforms 🥹

anyone actively looking to build using this cc @samuellhuber.eth 

that will help prioritize

One could build an OAUTH2 compatible provider and relay for people to integrate with / use accepting that provider to be auth authority
