Why are there so many projects with "Fedi" in its name, that only work with or are designed for #Mastodon? I think that's a bit confusing and misleading to be honest.

If you make a tool for #fediverse - please, stop with this insane #USdefaultism.

You can make it english-only, it's not much of an issue, but don't ignore everyone outside of the US. If you have multiple options related to individual US cities, but have none for #EU or countries like China, India, Egypt, Germany, etc... it comes off as extremely ignorant. And that's before we start talking about everything else than just geographic locations alone.

Looking at you #fedified.

Question for Mastodon gurus: Is there a secret to getting a backlink to my profile to work such that it turns "verified" green *in addition to* adding "rel=me"? I followed instructions, adding it from my WordPress site, but it doesn't show up here. I know this feature works fine on my instance (sfba.social) because #Fedified did it already! (See screen shot.)

The only theory I can come up with is that something is blocking it from my WP host end. Any ideas? Thanks. #FediTips #FediHelp

hey @daveleeFT & presscheck dot org , if you’re going to run a centralized verification system a la #fedified , and you want people to trust in you, i think you need to publish more information about your verification process.

Curious:
In order to verify my account through Fedified, I had to hop back on the bird site ... and just noticed that I still have my blue checkmark. Am I being charged somehow, or has that not entirely rolled out yet?

New by me at Forbes today: a guide to getting 'Twitter verified' at Mastodon. Includes options for linking Twitter and Mastodon accounts, linking 'legacy blue' Twitter accounts, and more. I couldn't cover everything, so be kind - this is for a general audience, those who might be exploring Mastodon and want to know more about account verification in easy to digest terms.

A hot take is brewing inside my brain on he clash of the worlds surrounding the #fedified. I've read thru some of the posts, which argued this kind of verification is actually great or evil thing, and it appeared, that I have Opinions.

This post, though, is not quite a teaser, more like an attempt to shame myself into collect the notes on the matter from my chats and make some kind of a post, if not quite an essay, on the matter.

There has to be a way better way of verifying #Mastodon users than a centralized spreadsheet like #Fedified is anyone working on a better solution?

@juddlegum @Pawstalker Check out #fedified and fedified.com. They have put together verified list of journalists and other notable accounts on Mastodon.

I am looking at @DataDrivenMD's #Verified by the #Fediverse #Fedified criteria - And I am somewhat confused by why we are basically bringing Twitter verification one-for-one over here.

I don't want to berate the effort; and I understand that it's valuable - But there are MANY reasons some people didn't want to be #Twitter verified which might not count on #Mastodon

@DataDrivenMD Nice verification tool. I've been wondering what this #Fedified thing is about. #TwitterMigration

I just saw the #fedified mess pop up in my tl, what a silly mess that is. And it looks like people are falling for it.

There is a heated debate on Mastodon around the #fedified verification list. Some objections revolve around eligibility criteria for inclusion in the list. To be on the list one has to either be previously twitter verified OR have 100k+ followers OR have 20k+ followers AND have the followers:following ratio at least 11:1. I checked how well the existing 500+ persons on the list satisfy these conditions. In short, not well.

Would like to see a GitHub-like ActivityPub project. Should we all be self-hosting or group-hosting our own source code instead of letting GitHub do it?

Maybe what I'm saying is ActivityPub integration patches should be submitted to Gitea, Gogs, GitBucket, Gitlab, GNU Savannah, etc... 🤔 #ActivityPub #federation #fedified

Nice #PressCheck initiative from @daveleeFT to verify journalists to help with #TwitterMigration

https://www.presscheck.org

One of many good account verification initiatives for sure, like journa@host by @adamdavidson or #ConradsList #Fedified

This is starting to feel like a place with critical mass in no time at all!

@stirz
@DavidBFox @DataDrivenMD

I would strongly recommend NOT using #fedified for verification. A lot of Mastodon users are actually using the “fedified” list as a blocklist, because the use of this kind of services encourages behavior that is contrary to the #Fediverse ethos.

Highly recommended alternative is to use the native Mastodon verification feature directly.

@revkin @adamdavidson Actually, a site like @DataDrivenMD #Fedified could host a little bio page for everyone on the list with the right codes, then I think you ought to be able to get a Mastodon-standard green verification check mark on your profile
