    I think the only real “solution” is to have smaller, verified communities. You have to know the people you’re interacting with are real people.

    I don’t believe this is something you can do fully anonymously. Someone has to verify you belong.

    I’ve thought about creating a Lemmy instance limited to my neighborhood, but I’m not sure how to do a verification scheme yet. I know how Nextdoor does it.

      anonymity is important because the internet is a wild west and any verification scheme that connects an account to a real person and their location sounds like a prime target for hackers. we have already proven this with k-id and the like.
