Not necessarily to justify Gizmodo in this instance, but Slack does paywall their SSO feature behind their Business+ Plan, which seems to currently run $12.50/mo/user, which is about a 70% increase from their next pricing tier. See: https://slack.com/pricing

Given the price difference I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to pay for that.

Edit: someone later in the thread linked this page which helps explain why this is generally a bad practice https://sso.tax/

This isn’t even new. Why are we posting things from over two years ago and treating it like some sort of revelation?

Ars and Reddit are under the same parent company, conde nast or however that’s all structured. I also have noticed ars seems to write very frequently about Reddit, even if it is usually in a critical light.

I get mixed feelings about articles like this one.

I understand this platform is still young so the community hasn’t really decided on standards but imo there are a lot of parallels that can be drawn between this and email. And with email, blocking an entire domain is usually strictly to deal with spam.

For a platform like this, we should probably extend that to illegal content but no further than that imo. Objectionable content should be handled via moderation, blocking, and just not subscribing to that content in the first place.
