@npr is on mastodon.social! Pass it on!
@npr

Further edit: it’s an unofficial site run by volunteers on mastodon.social. Sorry.

@makkhorn @npr

No verification, proceed with caution. Can't find anything on their website indicating it's legit...

nope, not NPR, just a stan account

@pixelpusher220 it’s just today's articles with link. Plus, the mastodon.social address. I’m assuming social would have vetted it. Caution is warranted…I hope someone is digging.
@makkhorn @pixelpusher220 I'm on mastodon.social but they verified me when I put my handle in my GitHub profile. If it is NPR they can be verified pretty easily if they want. All they need to do is put their handle on the website in their mastodon profile.

@AbuMirchi @makkhorn

Sure, but it's still reliant on a third party and just looking at a post or a message doesn't tell you it's the legit account. @[email protected] would implicitly tell *anyone* looking at it that this is the valid official account.

which email address is easiest to know is verified?

[email protected] vs [email protected]

@pixelpusher220 @makkhorn What you're describing is definitely ideal. I was just pointing out what they could do if that was a legit NPR account. It would be trivial to get it verified.
@AbuMirchi @makkhorn gotcha. It isn't an official account as the profile text makes clear.
