Doesn't that mean that I then have to check the veracity of the linked account or website as well? I'm thinking of a scenario where such things could be spoofed by changing the spelling slightly in the same way that many popular Twitter accounts are being spoofed right now.

I am definitely in favor of a decentralized method of verification, though.

@atommac @msh there's not really a solution for that either that does not ultimately rely on centralization.

for example I could set up some kind of math-heavy blockchain verification service. it would still need a name and a website. I could spoof those. The "solution" would be Mastodon only trusting that service and doing stuff on the backend to ensure that. that's recentralization.

it's basically part and parcel of the tradeoff for decentralized architecture
