Eugen RochkoPlease report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.
PeterKReilly@Gargron can you PLEASE find a way to carry hashtags through to replies? It will be the single most important thing you ever do to increase engagement across people's posts
Roche Limit@rochelimit @Gargron thanks that’s helpful. It might be the instance I am on.
