Dr. Jorge CaballeroFolks dunking on #fedified insist that the "real" way to verify oneself on the fediverse is to buy your own domain name. So, I hereby announce that insulin is free! For details, just visit EIiLiIly.com
Gina@DataDrivenMD Yeah, verification to a corporate website would be more effective for clearly recognizable websites like npr.org, but there's always risk of look-alike websites. However, that's also a risk for Fedified, at least right now, since it's new and the masses may not feel comfortable trusting your work. Hopefully this will teach more people to verify through multiple means if they can.
@thekat03 They don't have to trust the work. They can literally click on the respective links and see the proof for themselves.
Moreover, those that go out of their way to cast doubt on the work aren't the ones who need the site in the first place. Fedified is not for people that that been on Mastodon for years, it's for those that are willing to give Mastodon a try.
@DataDrivenMD Yes, and if it makes the transition from Twitter to Mastodon easier, I think that's only good. Anyone who distrusts it can ignore it.
