Verification will very quickly become an issue on Fedi, I believe.

Even now, we have multiple "Linus Torvalds" accounts.

Some have thousands of followers and a few posts, but do we know if any of them are actually him? Including the newest one on .social...?

Obviously Linus should know how to paste a link into a website he owns for verification.

However, if normal users can't do it, it's not good enough. What happens when/if celebrities start signing up? They're not gonna be linking to a website they own for verification.

@[email protected] I did see it. I followed another account on the kernal instance that I assumed was him but idk.🤷‍♂️

I watch introductions pretty closely and that one caught my eye immediately.

Hope nobody gets scammed.😬
