    Mmmm, we might need a mastodon.verified instance maybe? 🤔

      You can self verify on Mastodon as long as you control a domain where you can stick a tag into an HTML page. You just stick a <a rel="me" href="https://your.mastodon.server/@your-id">Mastodon</a> tag in the head of the page and then reference the page on your Mastodon account. This proves that Mastodon account owns the domain.

        That’s possible just for the owner of a mastodon instance, not for standard users who visit an instance

          This has nothing to do with being an owner of an instance. Here’s my self verified account on mas.to which I’m not an owner of. When you go to your account preferences there’s verification section under your profile:

            @yogthos @Suoko Btw, this is a brilliant feature that Mastodon came up with and I’d wish it was adopted by all ActivityPub implementations. I wonder if you could even verify the ownership of other fediverse profiles in a similiar matter. Every once in a while, talks about unified identities across the fediverse re-emerge and that just might be an extremely simple way of going about it.
