Mastodon

There are no "verified" badges on here. If you see someone using a symbol like  it's just a custom emoji that means absolutely nothing.

However, there are still ways you can verify your identity on here. For example we know that the European Commission's official account is @EU_Commission

Here's an article going through how to verify your account on Mastodon and the Fediverse:

There's no charge on here for verifying, and anyone can do it.

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.
199,430 is the number of new users across different Mastodon servers since October 27, along with 437 new servers. This bring last day's total to 608,837 active users, which is without precedent the highest it's ever been for Mastodon and the fediverse.
Hi #AI people. I’m on mastodon.social but only intended this to be until I found a more topical home. Where are people going to talk about AI, human-centered AI, and ethical AI, or #nlp ?
