How do you feel about #Medium introducing a #verification process as part of their instance and #subscription price?

Yes, they are #centealized company, but they are joining the #fediverse and are in an excellent position to do verification.

Yes, they allow you to verify your #Mastodon account by linking it to your #Medium account with a URL, but they can also verification similar to #Twitter before it just became a pay-to-scam feature.

I actually like the idea. For example, let's say a #Youtube creator uses #Medium to post extra content, transcripts, or longer discussion articles. #Medium can then verify that it is indeed that Youtuber and also verify their #Mastodon account and identity.

Yes, they can verify their identity by linking the #Youtube channel by connecting it with a URL, but an automated #verified checkmark next to their profile name could be fun and useful.

@jrosenberg not to mention that one should not trust in #Shitcoins that are too #centealized (i.e. #Bitcoin) or even #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider trash (like #USDC / #USDT)...

Rather get #Monero instead since it's the "leadt worst" and due to #peivacy features not capable of being abused for #NFT #scams directly.
