@Li @liaizon @scan Look, I am not rooting for any of these things, I am rooting for solutions that can proove personhood _without_ breaching privacy.
There is a whitepaper about it on the firstperson project web page. The Linux Foundation is one of the initiaters of this work. And in the case of OpenCollective and shipping ID off to Palantir-bros - hell yeah, they can fuck off.

@Li @liaizon @scan I think we are going to need it. Open source will be attacked by bad faith actors which can set up a bot army of "contributors" - the openness we want needs some kind of trust mechanisms. I am not saying this specific case warrants an identification system - just that there are sharks in the water ahead. Say someone wants to infiltrate the forums of KDE, and make a lot of noise and disturb development, they can already. In the future they can x1000 it in volume and distruption

@liaizon @scan The First Person project is needed quickly. TLDR , proof of identification without breaching privacy. Linux Foundation is the first test case for it to avoid Jia-Tan-like attacks. Why OpenCollective needs the identity verification provider in the first place though, what are they using it for?
