@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.

@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

#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".
