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

Robert Thau@downey @DataDrivenMD This is an... odd response to a demonstration that previously established practices are so easily gamed as to be unsuitable for purpose.
Ownership of a domain name proves nothing else about the owner (that they own it, sure, but not who they are otherwise). And control of a web page at that domain proves even less. If the community reacts to hearing that by trying to shoot the messenger... that's not a healthy community.
