Just a question here as I dont know Mastodont that well. But how do you do vertified accounts? Is there some federally elected institution that will vertify user who requires that sort of vertification? Because to me there is huge amount of fake accounts and copycats and it is as hard to check if they are real as it is to check the spam mail that came from a scamy address. I guess institutions don't want to be on a platform full of copycats and constantly proving they are the official account. Among other things...

I don't get why more companies. Especially ones who might be concerned with control of their content like I dunno. lets say news agencies and the like. I don't get that they would not want to run their own instances and federate.

Especially when the Canucks account was hijacked by Elon Musk placing his crypto scam video as the top post on their page.

@Sunshine „Das einzig Vernünftige wird immer erst dann in Erwägung gezogen wenn alle anderen Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft wurden!" Es wäre ja auch zu Blöde wenn man das Richtige macht solange man noch die Wahl hat zu Spinnen, sich Illusionen hinzugeben, Zeit zu verlieren und Geld zu verbrennen.
