Community?
There are a few issues being conflated here. Whether the user has to
trust himself is a philosophical question (and yes, it IS a question!
- assertions that it is not possible to function in life without that
notwithstanding) for most, a practical question for some (but that
would be heading into esoteric neurocognitive territory, which is
horribly off-topic for this list). Whether the user as source of
identity information (and owning/controlling/possessing hardware to
make assertions about it) is trustworthy, is a very different
question - and then the user wonders who *can* be trusted to speak
for the user, and not for anyone else *but* the user.

And its success has been proven, because we don't have spam anymore.
