"human.json is a protocol for humans to assert authorship of their site content and vouch for the humanity of others. It uses URL ownership as identity, and trust propagates through a crawlable web of vouches between sites." I've added it to my website! https://codeberg.org/robida/human.json

    @sethmlarson At a glance, it looks like the extension can pre-vouch. In other words, it doesn't verify that the vouchee has a human.json. Could be worth filing an issue: https://codeberg.org/robida/human.json/issues

    @EvanHahn how to best avoid making this a signal to scrapers to add an unauthorised copy of your words to their training data? i want to signal to humans, but not to the fascist bootlickers making plausible sounding lie generators

    @EvanHahn this seems similar to what `keybase` used to do well; and also reflects the GPG trust levels (that seems good) Q: in the documentation is the word "should" being used in the RFC 2119 sense?

    @EvanHahn I failed an "Are you human?" test today, so perhaps I don't qualify.

    @EvanHahn just added a `human.json` to my website. Easy to do and helps a web made by humans <3

    @EvanHahn This is interesting, but it appears that only one ownership-asserting URL is allowed, and protocol (http vs https) matters. Given that what I'm putting on the Web is mostly non-interactive documents, it doesn't make sense for me to require TLS. Am I just misunderstanding something, or can I not use the one humans.json file to assert ownership of the site, whether served over http or https?
