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 Do you believe the twitter community is verifying news sources? If you're talking about making sure an account is official there would be a couple easy ways to certify that.
