@atommac all other alternatives are better. As @darius explained you can include links on your twitter profile or home page, either informally as a regular hyperlink or if possible using a rel=me link. You then link back or put the green check on your mastodon profile and this is verification that the same person or entity has control of both sites.

Years of central Big Social websites has conditioned people to believe we must employ central authorities and brokers to manage our data. Such central entities are not features; they are damage we should route around.

@msh
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.
