[Request] Do NOT offer Aurora Store dispensers as default.

[whyorean]

Please don't use auroraoss.com as the default dispenser

Hi! 👋

I noticed this project uses http://auroraoss.com/api/auth as the default Aurora Store dispenser. I'm the maintainer of that service, and I'd like to kindly ask you to change this.

Why this is a problem

The auroraoss.com dispenser is intended for direct Aurora Store users only, not as a shared backend for third-party projects. When multiple projects hardcode it as a default, it causes:

• 🔴 Account throttling & bans — Anonymous Google accounts get flagged and blocked due to abnormally high request volumes
• 💸 Increased server costs — I'm running this out of pocket for the Aurora Store community
• 😢 Degraded experience for genuine users — Real Aurora Store users get rate-limited or locked out because of the excess load
• ⚠️ Risk of full outages — High traffic spikes can take the service down entirely

What I'd ask instead

Please consider one of these alternatives:

1. Host your own dispenser — The dispenser is open source and straightforward to self-host. This gives you full control and doesn't impact other users.
2. Leave the field empty by default — Don't ship any dispenser URL as a default. Let users configure their own if they wish.
3. Let users opt-in — If you want to suggest auroraoss.com, do so as an example in documentation rather than a hardcoded default.

Thanks for understanding — I really appreciate the work you're doing and just want to make sure the Aurora ecosystem stays healthy for everyone. Happy to answer any questions! 🙏
