To sum up community sentiment
We are content with the "Mastodon way" of verification; however, we have thoughts:
- Beginner-Friendly: Verify is not "beginner-friendly," especially for services like blogs and social media.
- Privacy: We would like to see attested confidence via, say GitHub, LinkedIn, and Medium but without always having to publicly display the account on our profile.
- Masquerading: We want to prevent individuals from controlling vast numbers of fake profiles for political or non-legitimate purposes.
That's a really good point - what we'd like is to be able to leverage the confidence of confirmed GitHub+LinkedIn+Medium blog without the need to always display them. This is one part of the existing confidence system that could be improved - privacy.
Privacy / ease-of-use: https://mastodon.social/@the_angel is founder of eBig Design here in NYC and an artist group working on a Mastodon instance. People love the Mastodon way of verify, but would like to make it easier. They'd like the confidence of confirming Twitter+LinkedIn+Medium but without always having to display these accounts. My job here is to insert links that seem to be rendered from the header.jsx component — any help, advice or suggestions appreciated!
