Iāve just started a server, and all I need to get you verified is full name, phone number, DOB, bank acct number, and 3 passwords to secure your account. Here it is if youāre interested: mastodon.totallylegit.con
Alternatively, on my privacy-focused server, we only ask for full name and social security number. No passwords on any of our accounts either, just click your name from the drop-down list of our registered users! Easy and privacy focused! join us at privacy-mastodon.net
Step 1: Type
:verified:into your display name. šI think this is related to the server checking an external actor for validation. The closest thing to twitter āVerificationā mastodon has is the green fields on a profile that only shows if the mentioned site has a back link our something similar.
Yeah, I was joking. Some people only want to be Twitter-verified to look important, and they can get that same pseudo-important look on Mastodon by just putting the blue-checkmark-emoji into their display name. Anyone can do that, so yeah, it certainly doesnāt verify anythingā¦
