Behold: verified threads account id

#threads #relme #http

Threads has implemented rel=me, but if I read mozeri’s post correctly, only in one direction. That would not be good or sufficient.

I wonder why neither the @signalapp nor the @Mer__edith account have a rel="me" verification with signal.org in their profile.

#RelMe #verification

How do you people verify your link to #PeerTube channel on #Mastodon? I tried https://peervideo.club/@vintprox that has a #relMe link to my associate TechHub profile, but it still doesn't lit green.

@MarkRuffalo just use profile metadata and #RelMe link to your other site. :fistbump:

@JLSA

yes, it is a green check before links in the profile (and green background).

This is not done by a centralized authority, instead the user links from his trusted page to the profile.
Both links have to have a "rel=me" attribute.
Most #Fediverse softwares support this and so does mastodon.

It is quite easy to verify yourself on #Mastodon via linking to #GitHub, because they put #relMe attribute on backlink.

After saving profile here and getting that green mark, you can get rid of backlink in your GitHub profile or even your website (no idea why you'd last one). Although, I assume that if such extra step is taken, everything will have to be repeated per updating Mastodon profile again. Hence, leaving backlink is more reliable.

@nilesh but of course, it makes sense to specify the protocol for any URL.

I believe Mastodon does a good job itself imagining metadata presented by user, and I wish more services did just the the thing it did: allow arbitrary links (a little touch of showing URL w/o protocol is good too).

Moreover, I liked the concept of website verification: #relMe link that should point back to their originating profile, to prove it's really them. I think more websites need to do just that.

Hier hat jemand sehr schön erklärt, wie man seinen Account auf Mastodon verifiziert:

Poll's over, but no. It's confusing an authentication layer that's unnecessary.

Just put a link to your Twitter profile in your fediverse account profile and vice versa on Twitter.

Will it get an auto checkmark? No, but it proves the Twitter account is under the same control. Add a rel=me link to seal the deal.

Note that Twitter blue checks aren't and never were entirely reliable.

I've been trying to get mastodon verification from a website I built. I added the micro format rel="me" backlink in the footer of the site. But it's not showing as verified. Why is this? Is there a delay in it appearing?

Website is https://dromorecc.com

#Mastodon scannt das target #relMe nachdem du die settings einmal speicherst.
@kuketzblog

Btw, on a #Mastodon 2.6.1 instance you can have verified profile metadata links by linking back with rel="me" attributed links. In your profile settings just copy the displayed #Verification fragment and paste it into the page you're linking to.

For how verified items look see my https://social.tchncs.de/@erAck page.

Acabo de usar la nueva opción de verificación de #identidad de #mastodon llamada #relme. Fué bastante sencillo empleando mi sitio web personal, acá la "palomita verde" de verificación ccp @maop

How do I add a rel="me" if my website is a MediaWiki instance?

Building on https://github.com/indieweb/verify-me/blob/master/chrome-extension/verify.js for example #relme

With the morning brings the realization that verification *could* be done in the browser on the profile page, simply with some client-side javascript. 🤦‍♀️ #relme
