Possible solution to the agentic slopware takeover of repos:

Require every contributor to have a verified* Fediverse account.

* multiple verified website links on profile
* rational posting history
* quick handle search doesn't yield accusations of being a bot

Yes, this does mean we lose the ability for contributors to remain fully anonymous, but, like, we're running out of options here. We *have* to know if you're a real human being somehow… 🫠

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://indieweb.social/users/jaredwhite/statuses/116088772305143059 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
