Oh I don't know - I'm aiming to start one. 🤣

Here's the high-level current motivation: @samnabi and the https://onemillionneighbours.ca project have put together a project aiming to address something I've been observing for years, that local civic engagement efforts suffer because *online* connectivity scatters people and their connections to the global similar-but-walled-off tech giant "social Media" spaces.

I want a way for local citizens to engage *locally* and in 3D.

@theraccoonbytes @mapache @samnabi

a large part of the point I'm trying to make is that we can do this within borders, with a commitment to local hosting and local support, but with access to the global base of fediverse software and collaborative reach globally.

But my vision for "verification" is more like the financial industry's "KYC" - an identifyable org and/or certified professional vouches for someone by an auditable process. Badgefed + Fediprofile seems a great digital schema for it

I continue to blather about it occasionally since last summer's FediCon (my first speaking opp in ... many years). I'm more on the social-observational, how do we build communities side than technical. Toss some stuff up at johannab.ca when I can, though admittedly so far this year, school and my butt are kindof overwhelming my plans to be blogging my way through a Bonfire sandbox.

@deadsuperhero if I meet any I'll let you know
