💡 Proposal for ActivityPub: FediStamp
What if any federated platform (Mastodon, WordPress, Pixelfed, PeerTube, WriteFreely...) could offer automatic certification of original content?
When publishing a poem, article, photo or video, you check "Certify original content" and the system gives you:
🔗 A public verifiable link to the registry
📄 A .fedistamp file as permanent proof
✅ A visible badge (Certified content) with clickable link
🧩 Metadata embedded in ActivityPub that travels with each share
Example: I publish a poem on Mastodon, enable the option, and instantly get my ✓ certified proof of authorship.
👉 This doesn't replace copyright (which already protects you), but strengthens it with technical evidence of authorship and date.
⚡ Key points:
Only registers the content hash (no cryptocurrency, just authorship certification).
Free.
Opt-in: you choose what to certify.
Automatic protection for creators across the federated ecosystem, without relying on centralized platforms.
I'm not a programmer, just a writer who sees the need. If someone technical sees merit and feasibility, go ahead.
