In a closed community with highly sensitive content, everyone wants guaranteed zero emails starting from registration. Is this possible in Discourse? I guess we can turn emails off entirely system wide, but what about new user registrations? Now that you even support passkeys, could you make a full…

[Bild] meglio: what about new user registrations? I think you should be able to do this, if you have SSO setup. Emails are an absolutely requirement to verify email addresses. Otherwise you’ll get hit by spam. But you can bypass this if you delegate verification to your SSO set this: …

I’m on a site with email disabled, and I think that is only possible because of the SSO handling login and password resets, etc. Without needing those, I think using onsite notifications and having no email notifications for anything works quite well. :+1:

Here is another idea. For communities focused on privacy/anonimity, allow to use SimpleX instead of emails. So that a user can sign up by receiving a confirmation link via SimpleX from Discourse, and receive any transaction “emails” to their SimpleX chat.

So you need to host your own SMP server and take care about their privacy issues and IP leaks . You probably want to read this and this . If you want real privacy you need to keep away from clearnet. [Bild] satonotdead: I’ll be the devil advocate for a while The greatest enemy of knowledge i…
