Replying to Avatar fiatjaf

Although I don't agree with the core of the article, I understand that it feels weird to interact with weird pictures as their avatars and non-human names all day, it makes everything look artificial and broken.

I just wanted to point that on Nostr it would be very simple to have a "verified human" badge thing issued by some trustworthy organization attached to people that want to ensure everybody else they are human (and not just using some fake human name and picture as people could do too).

I don't think having such a thing would be a slippery slope and lead the entirety of Nostr to the KYC world. That would require non-human people to have their "protocol rights" restricted, like they're doing now on X.

And while I would *encourage* ditching the anon handles, I would never want to require it, or do what Elon is doing.

It does pose some difficulties on nostr regarding identity. When I see some public figure like Michael Saylor on nostr, how do I know if that is the real Michael or some imposter?
