   @mariotaku Anonymous authentication seems to work fine for Mustard {Mod} since forever .)
   I don't have code in front of me, but it's the method where you launch a request to a browser where the user logs in and then gets redirected to a callback (Mustard uses "statusnet://") for your application or otherwise fill in a PIN shown in the browser.

     @vinzv Why not use anonymous authentication?

     @vinzv But these credentials will be published in the source, so I'm wondering what possible benefit there could be to registering it as ots own client.
     
     It's more likely the credentials get abused and some admin blocks Twidere for this and therefore needs to fall back to anonymous OAuth anyway.

     @mariotaku and your app/client id is the string "anonymous", hence the name (I don't remember from the top of my head which parameters were set to what, if secret is left out or if that's "anonymous" too etc.)
