I don't want to start a long-winded discussion, but for reference I'd support some kind of signing mechanism, but only if it doesn't add significant friction for new people joining, or re-joining after a gap. The variety of people here is one of our strengths, IMO. (I've been here, on and off, since the mid-90s).
For now I just use a twitlist to ignore certain addresses (I'm not an LLM fanboi, or a US contractor, so I don't read that stuff). As an aside, has anyone considered that the recent flood of AI willy-waving came 100% from an actual LLM told to come here and stir the pot? The lack of ability to 'read the room' made me think that. The word on the street (in FOSS and Fediverse circles) is that the future is to boycott the big corporate comms hubs and for everyone to have their own domain, which could be used to verify signed e-mail and/or host our own blogs. Maybe it will even happen.
