What a sad day. My favorite browser @Vivaldi failed me after 4+ years. It decided to hard crash and not only corrupt all the tabs, but also the saved sessions, so I can't restore in c/[email protected]

@Vivaldi @vivaldi_browser I was planning to stick with it until they stopped supporting manifest v2 which would make it unsafe to continue using due to lack of #UblockOrigin, but sadly if the browser can't do the most basic thing I need it to, it's time to move on.

That being said, I had great times with and I absolutely agree with the vision Vilvaid has. Good luck.

They were also beeing having issues with sync the last few weeks and at least on the forum, Vivaldi ambassadors are very combative about it when it's mentioned. So their own sync failed and then the hard crash corrupted the local session save.

Verification will very quickly become an issue on Fedi, I believe. in c/[email protected]

@[email protected] I have no idea why Elk refuses to mention you properly. Might be a bug.

Relying on 3rd party platforms is far from ideal and like you mentioned unrealistic as it would require API access which would be easily blocked.

Realistically, I can only think of one idiot-proof verification system. Credit card, but that opens up instances to storing payment and identitity data or outsourcing it to a 3rd party service. Anything else would be user based and require at least some input from them.

@[email protected] I agree that current verification is beyond most users, but I don't think it matters much for regular posters or lurkers.

What is your proposed solution?

Paid verification has issues both from money and personal information security management angle.
The same is true for "celebrity" verification, as it require storing personal information.

The easier way to verify identity is to cross-check if they link back to existing accounts.

That makes it worse. Look at other popular subscription services around user content. They all provide access to full history. Be it Patreon or OnlyFans or someting else. It sounds like this project will be dead on arrival, no matter how much VC funded promoters want to make it something people use.
