@dansup Combining identity verification and paid project support doesn’t have a great history in social media.

I’d think about the details and your commitment to users (and your legal liability) before mixing the two.

Also, it would give a financial disincentive to doing identity verification via any other path, including ones that are more scalable, more accurate and more acceptable to users.

@dansup it would depend a lot on how much I trust the instance owner. It’s a standard approach for mitigating bots and reasonably effective - but must every social media company that’s done this has abused the data eventually. Verification by a trusted third party might be an easier sell.
