Why think hard when you can have somebody think for you?
“Every facet, every department of your mind, is to be programmed by you. And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you.” — Jack Kornfield
I don’t have the ability to easily verify users. A user verification service would be great. I think it could work decentralized, but maybe have a separate service for it. Servers independently authenticate, and federate with each other. If one starts authenticating poorly, defederate.
I don’t think it’s a good fit within Lemmy or Mastodon, or … Because I don’t think someone who runs a server wants to bother with it. It needs to be it’s own service that integrates with other services.
critical thinking does not simply mean “think hard”, it means research this person and account for maybe two, even three, seconds, before assuming everything they say is truth.
Instead of having some form of verifiable indication, people are just supposed to “think hard”? Have you looked around lately?
The problem only gets worse with AI creeping closer.
