How do we know that the people on reddit aren’t talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?
Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?
I don’t talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).
are there any lemmy instances that verify PII?
I highly doubt it, one that required PII to sign up would be very unlikely to have many users (especially in the current climate, so to speak).
And from the admin side, that sounds like a nightmare to deal with.
have you heard of online id verification services run by some governments
linkedin uses them to verify users identities
what do you think of them?
I can’t say that I’ve heard of them, no. I don’t have any need (or desire) to do any sort of identity verification within any of my own personal projects (and I have not been involved with anything of the sorts at my workplace). Because of this, I don’t have any insight or thoughts I can provide on them unfortunately.
In the context of Fediverse administration (or any service that you run yourself), even with a service that “handles it for you” I still personally wouldn’t want to step into any of it.
