I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

@dansup i was thinking about this, and maybe verification and payments should be kept separate.

But, would be great to have an optional subscription module, helping support both developers and hosters.

Something like:

- Free 1Gb Storage
- Subscription giving more storage (helps supporting a server)
- Some percentage of that also goes to developer
- Optional cool badge for paying users (just like Signal does, it's still a cool thing showing support, but not "verification")
