@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 https://mastodon.social/@MermaidIndustries .

@mcc @clarity @mermaidindustries good point. I will make a PR to Mastodon this week if I can

@clarity @darius I should probably admit at this point I'm ambivalent on whether I believe having my social media profiles verified would be to my benefit at all -- I see little upside and some potential downside -- so even if all these problems were fixed I'm not sure I'd participate. But even if I were interested, the current feature seems to ask a lot of me.

@mcc @clarity @darius Mastodon adds rel=me to links in the [Profile metadata] section, if you write them as a URL instead of in the @-form.
