Are there any fediverse or self-hostable sort of platforms made for mutual aid? Ideally with some sort of inventory system?

I’m looking to set up a one person super efficient “farm” to be the hub of a mutual aid network (it’s going to take a while to ramp up but I intend to support everyone I can as soon as I can, as long as they are worth supporting.. oooh sorry conservatives 6x prices for you..). I’m looking for a self-host able or fedi platforms, that maybe I can link to nearby mutual aid cells, perhaps. Or get them to join by mouthy-words?

Serious question, why do this online? How can you truly know if others need it or are lying? Why not help your neighbors?

You never know. Neither online or with your neighbors. Building a reputation system online like the fediseer would be possible to see if someone is legit btw.

Yea, I see it as a 2FA authentication in a way.

Yes. It especially helps me think in new ways outside of the current "reveal your identity to everyone" because that just doesn't cut it. Never has. The world we would need for this to work doesn't exist. Until it maybe does we need to make sure the person we talk to online is who they say they are, not who ELSE they are. I'd call it managing identities. Maybe thats already a thing.
