I’m wondering how one might go about making a nostr version of LinkedIn. You’d generate a dedicated npub — not the one you use for shitposting 😅 — and you’d have things like name, photo, location, education, whatever personal info you’d put on a LinkedIn account. The question is: how do you social proof those bits of info? Ideally you’d have more than one person to verify any given piece of info.

One way to do it would be for one person to issue some piece of info, like a badge, and others to attest to the badge’s veracity.

Or another way would simply be for multiple people to issue the same badge. For example: AKA Profiles issues Alice a GEO Location badge for Germany, and then Bob, who knows her irl, issues her the exact same badge. Every additional person who issues her the same badge (AKA Profiles, Bob, etc) makes me more confident that Alice is a real person in Germany.

Which of course is useful in lots of ways. Suppose aliens land in Germany. Alice posts a video of the aliens to nostr. I’ll be more inclined to believe her video if I have the aforementioned social proof. 👽
