Does the HN hive mind have pointers to some kind of trusted pseudonymity infrastructure?
Something along the lines of a network of pseudonym issuing authorities, which allow two things:
Individuals can generate pseudonyms and use them to act online to their heart's content.
However some kind of nuanced "reputation" is propagated back through the network and is "sticky" to the entity behind their pseudonyms.
As reputation is relative, the evaluation needs to be relative to the crowd you interact with. And the big big challenge is to protect the real life individual, so the pseudonym can only ever be uncloaked by the individual themselves.
Is that possible at all? Where are the communities researching about this?
keybase seemed so incredibly promising to me with some really cool features.
the company was bought by zoom though, right? and the team tasked with fixing the encryption of zoom calls. Does anyone know what is expected to happen to the keybase software and infrastructure?
