@ya_yavar welcome
Hey, if you want to be "verified" on the fediverse as being _actually you_, you don't need some third party to verify you or to check some list.
Got a domain you own, that's obvs you?
Paste `<a rel="me" href="https://your.server/@your_username">Mastodon</a>`into the html on that domain, add that domain to your profile links, bam, verified at least as comprehensively as a lot of folks on birdsite.
If this seems hard, I will help you! You can verify yourself, promise!
(boosts for reach a-ok)
@likask @szescstopni I'm not sure whether it should be the same. #mastodons structure is distinctively different, and I think that is what makes it a better option. #transformation takes time. Let’s hope people are willing and able to adapt and #change
@szescstopni yes, for sure. And I think it’s almost a good thing it happened. We as humans have the tendency to only act if it is really necessary (history teaches this over and over).
Maybe we shouldn't see this growing community here at #mastodon (solely) as a direct result of #musk buying #twitter and more as a chance to get connections, exchange and social media back into the hands of all people and away from #coorporations
Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):
- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhone’s native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)
See all changes here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1
Thanks, @Gargron and @Mastodon Team. #Mastodon4
A reminder for anyone new to mastodon who might not be happy with some of the racist and bad actors out there on other servers... Just import the fediblock list to your personal blocks and you will be safe from the vast majority of bad actors.

@gpowerf oh he is so concerned about shared power
🆕 Seems to be a thing, so let's go: #introduction
Hi, I once studied #socialscience, and I am still very much interested in learning all things humans do, think and say 👥
I love #reading and watching #sciencefiction, #documentaries 🎬
I think this server is a great idea and way to work and share interdisciplinary 🔬

Found a tweet from @kristinmbranson while randomly searching online ... they got me here
I am a #feminist
I am a pessimistic optimist
I am NOT part of the #TwitterExodus #MastodonMigration
I very much enjoy #Cooking and #Reading.
I dabble in #GraphicDesign
I have a degree in #SocialScience
I am not an ‘either/or’ person, but an ‘and’: wine & beer, cats & dogs, movies & books ... You get the idea
