@EvanHahn @atna just jumping in here to say that i imagined something sort of similar to human.json but the inverse, where you vouch for clients in a web of trust and web servers can use those to decide whether to serve content or not (or rate-limit or not, or whatever)
one big downside is that it hurts anonymity but i don't see an easy way to preserve anonymity within a web of trust that lets us block scrapers [1]. it would at least give web hosts more options
[1] the proof of work systems represent sort of a cat and mouse game but also break the web for non-js browsers and people with older computers
