Repurposing for Covid19

This post is just to find out if there is any interest in creating a self-organized ‘community’ across geographies as an alternative/competitor to the more top-down governmental approaches that the Covid19 pandemic is rapidly going to force.

Focus is on a forum/discussion structure rather than a blog/comment structure. So that we can focus on how to solve the sorts of problems that we currently abdicate to govt to solve and then complain about.

Need some identity control/verification system as the first-step of a back-end to prevent spambots and sockpuppets and eyeball collecting and all the other crap of Web2.0. Ultimately with the purpose of creating trust among participants rather than a drive-by shooting/look-at-me environment. The only one I know is keybase but this ain’t my skill set and I don’t want it to be. I don’t know (but doubt) whether this is really something that can be handled internally with WP on the wordpress.com site.

If you have any interest in this, just comment below. If you have those WordPress or Web skills (and the willingness to use them for this repurposing), say so. If the comment doesn’t show up, it’s probably because I still have Akismet on to block spam. Haven’t really checked that. But the comment will show up in a queue and I’ll check the queue in a day or so
