Karen E. Lund ๐๐@laescude @snopes Fact checking and spell checking are not the same thing. Although confirming an organization's correct spelling is kinda both.
And frequent misspellings and grammatical errors are an indicator of low-quality writing that is often lax about facts, too.
So... different, but definitely linked.

Steven Sandoval@Sibshops @snopes Unsolicited instructions: Add this HTML somewhere on the page that resolves when you visit `https://snopes.com`:
```
<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@snopes" rel="me">Mastodon</a>
```
Then, add `https://snopes.com` to your Mastodon profile's โ Profile metadataโ section.
Then, expect your webserver to be regularly queried by every Mastodon instance 24/7 until the end of time.

Oblomov@snopes you misspelled Mastodon though
Vintage Computerer@vintagecomputerer @snopes nah it was a typo and they fixed it.
Benjamin@snopes legends.
ToroidalCore@snopes Welcome to the Fediverse! You might want to add verification to your profile, but fact-checking yourself is a nice touch. ๐
Hella@snopes
Welcome to the Fediverse!
An even better validation of this fact that you might consider is verification:
Ralf Stubner@unixwitch @snopes Came here to propose the same ...
@unixwitch You appeared first on my server. But yes, I can well imagine that more than one person suggested that.
@rstub
You see (most/all?) other answers, if you visit the "original page" of the post.
(Which is easily done in the web interface, but on mobile clients - at least the one I use - a bit more cumbersome)
VulcanTouristIt's about time!

@snopes okay, that's funny xD

โ๏ธ๐๐@snopes FYI you can make a verification link for your account from your own web site to make a verification check mark on your account profile. It basically confirms that your web site claims your Mastodon account as official. https://joinmastodon.org/verification

BrynawelI missed you.
Welcome!!
@snopes fediverse is working.
Schmaker@snopes Glad to see people comming to #Fediverse, but is this #cookiewall with preselected stuff and no "I don't want any #cookies" actually necessary?

BoneHouseWasps๐ถ๐ฌ๐ง๐ช๐บ@snopes WELCOME! It's great to have you here.
This makes me so happy. ๐
Phoenix Paulina SchmidHey @snopes!
Is it planned to do verify your account here too?
You can look at https://infosec.exchange/settings/verification how to do that.
ลukasz Horodecki@snopes Welcome!
You should verify your profile: https://joinmastodon.org/verification

James Tweedie (has moved)@snopes Good move! Followed.
Lyle Solla-Yates@snopes Suspicious!
Acin โ@snopes clever announcement.
Sadly, when I visited the site from the front to confirm....
In the footer links: Facebook (Meta company), Threads (Meta's Threads), and X (Musk's Twitter) along with Bluesky (at least not as bad yet). There's no Mastodon icon.
"Try Snopes FactBot AI" is linked at the top of search results.
More Facebook and X linked icons are prominent at the top of articles.
I prefer trustworthy fact-checking sites provided by real people. That doesn't appear to be Snopes (this account or the site).
Tim Ward โญ๐ช๐บ๐ถ #FBPE@snopes It's a pity your web site is no longer usable because of all the ads and pop-ups.
skribe@TimWardCam @snopes Firefox with ublock origin (and no script too optionally) fixes any ad problems.

Justin Skists@snopes Hurrah! ๐
Glenn Fitzpatrick@snopes If you add rel=โmeโ to the link on your site, and add that pageโs link to your Mastodon profile, itโll help folks confirm your account is real in the future: https://joinmastodon.org/verification
Typositoire@snopes Good guy Snopes fact checking himself before anyone had doubts LOL
phryk ๐ด@snopes Exactly the post I was looking for when I saw the profile. ๐
