My mind goes to simple solutions like established communities having a $1 entry fee, for privacy use a privacy crypto maybe but that's a decent amount of friction for average folk with the current UX.

Another interesting idea that comes to mind is that every post/comment made needs the user to physically use their fingerprint scanner on their device which I assume plenty of devices have already. As long ad it can't be spoofed it works but not sure about the details about reliably securing that.

It would be some friction but I feel like it would be fine?

A lot of devices have fingerprint scanners and faceID. But it isn't used by everybody.

I haven't used it since 2017.

I don't own anything with a fingerprint scanner. My phone has a camera, but I don't use a phone for internet.
