I don't like that because it will alienate legitimately new and non technical people.
Just be welcoming, but also be cautious that scammers are here.
I have a "girl" from Singapore DMing me now, talking about cryptocurrency and wants me to get on "her" WhatsApp.
I would just use it as a “dont zap this person until they prove they’re real”. Wouldn’t mean ignoring them necessarily.
Although I can see how it might be used that way. It is a slippery slope from that to social credit score.
Yep. We don't want that at all. I this is something we'll deal with a lot. I just put some things together and it made me suspicious that this person isn't real, or there's more to the story. It was just an observation, well, several of them.
Yes but it’s something people will build nonetheless. The best way to fight it imo is to build really good tools for verifying authenticity without crossing the line into digital credit score. If the best tool for that is one that IS a social credit score, people will use that. So we have to make something better.
Can’t fight dystopia by asking them politely to stop. Have to create a better alternative.
