Logging into the Fly Forum https://community.fly.io using GitHub OAuth requires "Act on your behalf" permissions ...

This feels like a violation of the principal of least privilege. 🤷‍♂️
I know it's "just" a Discourse instance, but I don't remember granting this for the Elixir Forum ... 💭

After reading the entire thread, which was quite repetitive, the conclusion is that when people setup a Discourse Forum instance as a GitHub App instead of just using GitHub OAuth, the scopes have a terrible wording. Apparently it only gets access to Email Address.

It's the same case for: https://github.community

I would definitely prefer it if they updated their wording, this is terrible UX. 🤦
But I'm going to go ahead and use the Fly forum. 👍

As far as I'm concerned this is the deal-maker for me considering using Fly.io for Phoenix projects: 😍
