Thiemo Fetzer@felicityhannah for journalists it may make sense for them to verify or provide verification information in their accounts. Such as profiles on news outlets dedicated websites, LinkedIn, or ournalism.co.uk profile. Just a thought.
Chris GallagherYes, how do you do that?

Verification works on mastodon on a basic level. All it can do is verify that a link in your profile is controlled by the same person that controls your mastodon account.
When you set this up. Say by adding your blog or website URL to your profile. A tick will appear next to the link.
It's especially important for people of note with an existing online presence.
