It's nice to start over on Masto. When someone you haven't thought of in ages follows you it's a chance to think about them again. Which is often nice.

@davew Have you been able to figure out why your Mastodon profile link to Scripting.com isn’t “verified” yet? I’m looking at Scripting.com’s HTML and I don’t see why it isn’t working. I saw you were looking into this the other day.

@codejake @gruber — that explains it. Thanks.

@davew @codejake That was actually going to be my guess! Kinda sucks IMO. There’s no reason to require HTTPS for this.

@gruber @codejake I mean, in *theory* someone could MITM @davew.

In practice? I don’t see the threat.
