"I think it's going to effectively kill public chat communities without either proof of identity or attestation through a web of trust."
Those sorts of places were always the only places with reliably good communities.
- bigyabai 5mo agoTo the contrary, platforms like Facebook and X demonstrate that even personal verification won't save you from identity politics.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoWhat is identity politics, is that age verification?
- evilduck 5mo agoIdentity politics have nothing to do with your actual identification documents. Think: Black Americans being treated as a homogeneous voting bloc, or that all Hispanic voters would be pro-immigration, or "the Evangelical vote".
- pjc50 5mo agoPeople will post appalling racism in newspapers under their own bylines and photos. Identity verification does not moderate.
- ubermonkey 5mo agoI don't know what you mean by "identity politics." No algorithmic platform can sustain or even encourage genuine human interaction, so FB isn't even on the table here.
