this is confusing … isn’t @dansup running #fedified ?

#Fedified publishes the most comprehensive directory of notable #Twitter accounts that also have a verified presence on @Mastodon

- Fedified (2023) Notable Mastodon accounts, Fedified

Fedified is a public service project grounded in the belief that the future of democracy depends on our collective ability to protect the integrity of online discourse. Fedified publishes the most comprehensive directory of notable Twitter accounts that also have a verified presence on Mastodon.

以下這篇嘟文談到「為什麼不建議使用 #Fedified 」，也提供幾種不同難易度的方法作為身份證明。https://mstdn.social/@feditips/109336008894665379

大概分成兩種：1. 在已經獲得認證的其他社群平台、網站，張貼 Fediverse 帳號。2. 透過 Mastodon 設定裡頭的「驗證連結」程式碼，貼到自己的網頁裡頭。

Question for Mastodon gurus: Is there a secret to getting a backlink to my profile to work such that it turns "verified" green *in addition to* adding "rel=me"? I followed instructions, adding it from my WordPress site, but it doesn't show up here. I know this feature works fine on my instance (sfba.social) because #Fedified did it already! (See screen shot.)

The only theory I can come up with is that something is blocking it from my WP host end. Any ideas? Thanks. #FediTips #FediHelp

I spent a few hours going way down the #CustomEmoji rabbit hole. Good news for #AvGeekSocial tenants! I've created a nice variety of #Boeing #SouthwestAirlines and #DeltaAirLines icons to get us started.

Here they are: :boeing: :dl: :dl_nw: :dl_widget: :nwa: :wn_70s: :wn_heart: Appreciate your thoughts/feedback.

@daveleeFT BTW that phrase "Verified by PressCheck.org" in the profile is an abuse / over-interpretation of what this mastodon feature is intended for. The green checkbox next to the link means ONLY that there is a back link to the mastodon profile on the page indicated by the link. The text above the link is NOT relevant and does NOT have to be true - the profile holder can write whatever they want there.

I thought I was done with tooting about Twitter, but the new guy is going full fascist pretty fast, so if you are leaving Twitter, check this: https://www.fedified.com/

Curious:
In order to verify my account through Fedified, I had to hop back on the bird site ... and just noticed that I still have my blue checkmark. Am I being charged somehow, or has that not entirely rolled out yet?

New by me at Forbes today: a guide to getting 'Twitter verified' at Mastodon. Includes options for linking Twitter and Mastodon accounts, linking 'legacy blue' Twitter accounts, and more. I couldn't cover everything, so be kind - this is for a general audience, those who might be exploring Mastodon and want to know more about account verification in easy to digest terms.

@atthenius excellent points about the challenges. The assumptions that "everybody can just add a rel=me to their web site" are simultaneously techie-elitist and dismissive of real-world constraings many people face.

Unfortunately there aren't yet any great solutions I know of. @DataDrivenMD runs fedified.com for those who meet the eligibility critieria -- although it's goten pushback from #snff (say not to #fedified) and others https://paper.wf/snff/say-no-to-fedified-in-fediverse-snff

So if you search for #fedified you will come across some pretty interesting opinions, if you read through to the end, on this effort of Dr. Caballero to create a directory.

For me, this leads to parts-and-wholes questions. Is a whole of lightly-connected servers a good thing? What "flavors" will be tolerated within that whole? How about if some of those parts are monetized? Or, politicized? How much branding on the personal level should be tolerated? Where does Capitalism fit in? And so on.

A hot take is brewing inside my brain on he clash of the worlds surrounding the #fedified. I've read thru some of the posts, which argued this kind of verification is actually great or evil thing, and it appeared, that I have Opinions.

This post, though, is not quite a teaser, more like an attempt to shame myself into collect the notes on the matter from my chats and make some kind of a post, if not quite an essay, on the matter.

#SNFF #fedified #antifedified #fediverse #centralization

Hello! we are group of fediverse users worried about the future of the fediverse. We believe that centralization of verification systems does not pertain on Mastodon. We believe in solutions that empower users and that do not delegate their power to self-declared specialists. We thus encourage everyone to oppose centralizing phenomena, and to challenge the views of Mastodon as just a "Twitter-to-be".

Say No to #fedified in the Fediverse

Our open letter: https://paper.wf/snff/say-no-to-fedified-in-fediverse-snff

I've shared this for 2 reasons:
- I've noticed an uptick in bogus requests, and I'm hoping this thread will dissuade would-be imposters
- I'm proud of the impact fedified is having, and I remain hopeful that early detractors eventually come around to seeing #fedified for what it is: a public service project that aims to protect the integrity of discourse on Mastodon during the current #TwitterMigration period

/start photo of cute doggies cuddling in lap

There has to be a way better way of verifying #Mastodon users than a centralized spreadsheet like #Fedified is anyone working on a better solution?

@tanyatussing @DataDrivenMD So to clarify how this works? In order to trust a #fedified tick, you need to trust Twitter's #verification system? That's what it's based on?
