Might need to figure out a plan for getting The Post’s journalists on Mastodon. What’s the right angle — hosting our own server?

@jeremybowers i think that could be a good way to “verify”

@databae @fgregg @jeremybowers There's some sort of decentralized verification system, whose mechanism I don't yet understand. One provider: https://www.presscheck.org/howitworks

@databae @fgregg @jeremybowers I obviously just put an emoji next to my name.

@databae @fgregg @jeremybowers Ah, here's the mechanism.

@databae @fgregg @jeremybowers So, could add verification by adding a Mastodon social link to the author service and rendering tier. Two PRs, maybe 20 LOC.

@zubakskees @databae @jeremybowers at least on the mastadon.social client those rel=me verification indicators are only the user's profile. but [email protected] would be visible on every post.
