Since we're back to doing #FollowFridays, here's a (not exactly comprehensive) list of folks on the #CapitolRiot #Jan6 #January6 beat who've moved to Mastodon based on about ~7 minutes of looking on my part:

• Adam Klasfeld (Law & Crime): @KlasfeldReports
• Roger Parloff (Lawfare): @rparloff
• Brandi Buchman (Daily Kos): @Brandi_Buchman
• Marcy Wheeler (Emptywheel): @emptywheel
• Me (Good Tweets): @JordanFischer

I'll update the list as others point out I've missed them.

Thanks for the list! It's a bit clunkier to follow folks in the federated universe, but we'll get the hang of it.

Welcome to Mastodon, Jordan: the water’s fine! (Just stay away from the tar pits, or we’re all sunk…) 😉

@JordanFischer
Most of these folks have websites on their profiles.

I highly recommend following the steps (linked below) to add a bit of HTML to these sites to link it back to your Mastodon profile. Mastodon will detect this and mark the website (not the profile) as verified. Then anyone looking at your profile can see that you (probably) are who you say you are.

Thank you all for all the hard work you've done.

@gpetrites Thanks. I've tried to do that but haven't made it work yet. Hopefully this week. @JordanFischer @KlasfeldReports @rparloff @Brandi_Buchman

@gpetrites @JordanFischer @rparloff @Brandi_Buchman @emptywheel Same here. I put the link and the embed code on my personal website. No dice, so far. I understand the journa instance is working on its own verification system.

@KlasfeldReports
It looks like your link is within an IFRAME, which means it's a separate page embedded in the first. My guess is the verification logic doesn't load the IFRAME and isn't seeing the link. I'm not familiar with Wix, so I don't know exactly what options you have.

@gpetrites Hm, thanks for letting me know. That seems odd because I specifically moved it out of the page's footer. I'm not a web designer and so this is through a site builder, which might be part of the problem.

@KlasfeldReports
Looking at docs, I can see where Wix has this pretty locked down in term of what you can add to the page. But it's VERY close to giving you the option your need. The social link you have for Mastodon is just missing:

rel="me"

Wix supports configuring the rel for other purposes. It just needs the option to add "me" (see link).

I'd suggest submitting a "Feature Request" to Wix. When I get a few free minutes, I'll reply with what request should say.

@KlasfeldReports
Feature Request (feel free to edit):

Wix currently supports several Link Rel attributes:
https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-link-rel-attributes#types-of-link-rel-attribute

Mastodon and other services within the Fediverse look for a Link Rel attributes of "me" to perform website verification:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification

Proposed change is to add one more option to the list supported Link Rel attributes to enable links to contain:
rel="me"

This would allow Mastodon users to verify ownership of a Wix website on their Mastodon profile.

And obvious look for any existing feature requests. Not being a Wix user, I don't think I have access to look for that.

@KlasfeldReports
Assuming you are able to find/submit a feature request, make sure you post a link globally so we can get some votes for the request from other Mastodon/Wix users.
