    “Privately” and sign up with Google and Facebook are opposites statements

      These are optional, so it is really nothing that effects the privacy of users who do not chose to use it.

        I think that is better not giving support to nonfree shit.

        Would be better allowing to use Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey account or even OpenID.

      Using Google and Facebook as oauth providers doesn’t mean sharing anything important with Google or Facebook other than “This user requested authentication for this client (Alovoa).” I wouldn’t use it personally because I minimize my use of these companies as much as possible, but it’s probably fine by most people’s standards in addition to being convenient. Especially since they presumably already have and use their google/facebook accounts.
