People are gonna be shocked how quickly Twitter activity falls off a cliff. The Mastodon migration has had a couple fits and starts, but at this point, there are only a couple very active independent people I follow on Twitter that aren't here.

The biggest missing piece are official accounts, like corporations, media and government. I think pretty soon we'll see orgs standing up instances on their own domains, which will substitute pretty effectively for verification.

@acjay We already have account verification using keyoxide and keybase. See my profile as an example.

@freemo Good to know. It would be interesting to have a good UX for letting an organization with a Fediverse domain be able to vouch for accounts that are off its domain in a way that regular users can readily see.

So say NYTimes runs an instance and I become a reporter there. It would be cool if I could use one of those key verification schemes to validate my membership in the org, and Mastodon labels me with an @nytimes.com badge.

I don't think this idea is fully baked, but you probably get the idea.
