MODERATORS
I mean I just took the users word for summarizing the thing accurately, but doesn't seem too complicated to me https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/112036
Either way, it's not about this specific idea. It's just that you need some technical way to combat bots, be it cryptography, web of trust, subjective moderation etc. If it's open source, there will not be enough volunteers to do moderation
LSAG is a good shout but I'm not sure it's sufficient. It enables anonymous verification of something against a set of known public keys. But you still need to make sure that set of public keys is coming from real humans. It's not proof that a user has a property (i.e. being human), it's just proof they are a user.
But yes this is sort of a digression from the actual main problem. The real anti-bot solution is a mix of methods imo.
