Hey, if you want to be "verified" on the fediverse as being _actually you_, you don't need some third party to verify you or to check some list.

Got a domain you own, that's obvs you?

Paste `<a rel="me" href="https://your.server/@your_username">Mastodon</a>`into the html on that domain, add that domain to your profile links, bam, verified at least as comprehensively as a lot of folks on birdsite.

If this seems hard, I will help you! You can verify yourself, promise!

@phildini any tips on how to get this to work with wordpress? I tried putting the code in the footer via a widget and that didn't seem to work.

Really struggling with this. Does the content of the tag - the target for the tag - or the style of the tag matter?

Can't seem to make it work with my site's page ATM.

ah. Working now. It does seem to take a while for the change to come. But I have my green tick at last!
