It’s such a modern problem, clearly we need some new solutions. Maybe verified, none anonymous social media is at least part of that solution.

I’m not saying that all social media should be verified accounts. But if everything becomes bots run by EvilCorp, then there’s nothing left for the rest of us.

As far as I know there’s nothing about the Fediverse that protects us from EvilCorps bots

Has anyone got any half decent ideas for how to improve age verification? Obvs without this draconian shit.

I had a thought once about doing it with NFTs, where a company could independently verify you with certain metadata, like ‘is human’ or ‘is over 18’ etc. Then you get issued your token, and these sites can verify you without de-anoninising you.

Not sure if that’s a naff idea, but would be interested to know if anyone’s got anything better
