@Daojoan@mastodon.social Love this, thinking about a practical implementation. We could have software that generates cryptographic certificates, which anyone who already has one can issue. The new certificate would contain the issuer's certificate, which by this rule would itself contain its own issuer's certificate, and so on. Pull requests, social media posts, whatever, could have certificates attached, and be visible to clients who would reject anything without a trusted cert somewhere in the chain.
