Having multiple login systems is an integrity/spam disaster waiting to happen. You have to reimplement whatever detectors and filters twice and hope that nothing messes up and lets Jim the perv who was kicked from messenger move onto courting Billy on the quest.

Why should Jim’s history on Messenger affect his account on Oculus? If Oculus accounts truly were kept separate than whatever mechanism Jim used to find Billy with his Oculus account, he could’ve also used to find Billy on any other communication platform.

I saw one comment in a previous post who echoes my sentiment perfectly: Facebook has not only become a universal identity provider but is now providing universal authorization, which is a problem.

Why isn’t HN offering Login with Facebook here right now? Would you be excited about that?
