Recently I was locked out of my own Ghost blog platform because they decided they were going to add Email 2FA. I also cannot add any other authors because that requires email verification.
Today I was looking at installing Bonfire and came across this:
Bonfire requires working email for user signups, password resets, and notifications. Most installations will need email configuration before the instance is usable.
Setting up email is a pain in the ass, costs money, is dependent on 3rd parties, violates privacy, and is just completely unnecessary. Why wouldn’t you give users the option to not use it? It’s infuriating!
I don’t think that assumption was inherent in the comment
If you want an unpopular feature that doesn’t exist on an open source platform sometimes your only options are to code it, or ask someone else to. The skillset of the feature requester doesn’t change that
I wasn’t asking for options, I was asking for an explanation.
