I like the sound of this and hope some communities decide to try it out!

I’d love to see OIDC supported by Discourse officially in addition to our bespoke [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) functionality, so we can offer a turnkey solution to our customers on standard and teams without having to rely on okta or the like.
