@clarity @darius I'm not saying that I think this external-organization thing is a good idea EITHER, but the rel=me feature in its current form is something I simply would not use. My ideal form of that feature would be if there were some robots.txt alternative (identity.txt?) for the rel=mes, and if there were an option to use nonreversible keys (IE a hash that verifies a particular social media account is mine, but doesn't by itself allow you to read identity.txt and know my social media URLs)

@mcc @clarity I think that would be a lot more work and nobody is going to do it

@clarity @darius Oh, one other hilarious hole in the rel=me approach: It's entirely unusable for verifiably linking a Mastodon/Fediverse account *to another Mastodon/Fediverse account*. If I want to put "Main project: @mermaidindustries" in my profile, that can't be a verified link because I don't control the html of mastodon.social/@MermaidIndust .
