External Post Authenticity Verification with PGP #79

Overview Optional Would give users a quick option to sign their post contents for public verification by the receiving platforms' members.

Would need to consider how this integrates with formatting though.

Think the best way would be to get all unique versions of the post's end result), put each unique into a list, & create a signature queue for each (letting the user know how many are ahead). Might be a little time consuming, but less so than doing this all yourself.

Additional Another consideration is that signatures are long, especially when thinking of platforms like Twitter. In order to deal with this, we need to provide a way for users to validate the post information externally.

Signatures work properly regardless of where you host them, however, some users may consider availability of verification to their users. Some sites may not be available in some countries or the information could be taken down purposefully.

This may be a case where multiple integrations are desired. Some may want to use a blockchain for data immutability. Some may be okay with simply uploading the signature to another social media platform. A few options need to be considered here.

Link shortener is likely necessary regardless of what you use to host validation information.
