SSO is the enemy of privacy.
Why is that? It's not like there's any privacy when you sign up to any Lemmy instance.
SSO allows you to be tracked across platforms. There is nothing that ties my Lemmy account to any other account I have somewhere else.

huh? How does it track across all platforms? Your SSO token is completely private, and the lemmy instance can do whatever it choses with it. How can any platform track what you are doing? lol.
Do you seriously think Google doesn't track which applications you use when you login using your Google account via social login?
Whatever social login provider you use, for them, providing that service allows them to collect data they otherwise wouldn't.
What about posting to publicly accessible federated platforms? Seems inherently not compatible with privacy.
Not at all.

The doesn't seem to address the incompatiblity of privacy on public and federated forums. Perhaps SSO exacerbates the incompatiblity but you haven't really made that case well either.
