Did you know you can verify your account on Mastodon? It's free, privacy-friendly, based on open web standards, and available to everyone!
@Mastodon Spoutible wants you to do the same thing. Smh.
@Mastodon Last time I looked, LinkedIn didn't have any way to use your profile page there as Mastodon verification. I submitted a request and they said they'd think about it.
@Mastodon I totally get this and the good intentions behind it. But this so nerdy and intimidating to non-techy folks. The vast majority of people don't have their own website and don't understand what a rel attribute is. When people say they find Mastodon difficult and unwelcoming, this kind of thing is why.

@Mastodon Can I use my FB page? What about my Insta? Or my Google account?
Is there a list somewhere of what I can use? Maybe with "Total Idiot" level of instructions too?
Cheers!
@Mastodon did you guys all use to work for Microsoft?
@Mastodon You just have to pay to have a URL with HTTPS at the beginning of it, otherwise, yeah, free!
@Mastodon I already registered. I’m missing something?
@Mastodon I’m Unable To Upload Pictures. Any Reason Why The App Isn’t Functioning Accordingly?
@Mastodon Anyone have any advice on how to do this in WordPress where the Image Title Attribute is saved in a separate string from a link's target URL. Adding the rel="me" where WP wants it is not showing my page to be verified on Mastodon. (and if you have a solution, eli5 😅 )
@Mastodon I'm glad we dont have to use a cell phone number to verify, like I had to do with twitter. I have to use my daughter's number as I dont have a cellphone. TY!
"The important part is that the link has to have a rel="me" attribute on it. "
How to use this attribute? How do I give a link an attribute? Can you give an example of how to write it & where?
@Mastodon Why isn't mine working?
@Mastodon
It is worth noting that you need an #HTTPS-link for the #verification.
A simple #HTTP-link to a vintage homepage won’t do the trick.
