If #Mastodon stabilises in the broader world, I'm wondering how we might verify news sources. Would each media org set up an instance for their reporters maybe, so we can tell them apart from imposters? I can't imagine an independently moderated "news" instance without the verification process being open to bias or misuse.

@carly_io Each news outlet that used Mastodon would publically list their mastodon handle and instance. That alone would be enough. Just somewhere off Mastodon where they verify their Mastodon identity.

That's it.
