A lot of cool people in the indie web have been writing about human.json, a new protocol proposal for making a statement about the content of the page being created by human(s).
I wanted to spread the word.

@hamatti Hmm I like this. I am wondering will it get crawled though, is there some way to build reputation or do we as site visitors have to read the file to check the contents?
Ah you need a browser extension?
@hamatti The #mycelium network does exactly the same thing, except 1) people are not discoverable, you can only check the validity of someone you already know, 2) the server is dynamic, hence needs a separate process to be running on the web host, 3) it is not owned by anybody, can be freely extended to other uses, such as voting.

(My forgejo is currently down because of AI spam, but just ask and I will provide you the means of access).
@hamatti Interesting idea, I should add one to my site sometime...
> What about humans.txt?
I remember being interested in humans.txt a long time ago but there does not seem to be any rigid standard or format for how to write them. Having a standard JSON format that can be processed and made visible by e.g. a browser extension would likely have been better than a free-form text file.
Then it is also sometimes used by companies to just advertise job offerings:
Which kinda misses the point, I think.
