Frostbeard So what's the plan with handling impersonators? Usernames are only unique per server, right? I've already seen people pretending to be, for example, Twitter.
Sam Clark ⁉️@Frostbeard you would set up a verified organization toot server...So if you are an actor you could get a screen actors guild id?
@samrocksc Yeah, that could make some sense. It might still have the risk of people creating an instance that looks like the legit one but isn't though.
@Frostbeard I think that's an internet in general issue...I think as you see different Mastodon mods there will be a more collective effort on this. I am already working on modding the mailer to use an API for mail instead of SMTP. The good thing about open source.... We all get to be in on the fix!
