LinkedIn and other popular social sites are offering more options to verify that work for more people in more geographies.

To build trust the Mastodon way, is to avoid surrender of private documents and rely on digital counterparts instead. Mastodon profiles already showcase verified links with a green checkmark because people trust more when they are able to confirm and share more pieces of their identity.

Unfortunately, this task requires technical expertise and the process isn’t easily portable to other Mastodon Instances.

Are you part of a community or running and instance that would be interested in a test of anti-fake profile software?

Does anyone have any stories of fraud or bad actors abusing their community they are willing to share?
