I’m not one for making predictions about tomorrow, but here it goes:
At some point in the day, someone who has the luxury to post under their real name without fearing danger will announce that the cure to all things wrong with the world is to eliminate anonymity on Twitter.
Sharing my new found crumbs of fediverse knowledge (last one for tonight) - searching using hashtags is very powerful!
Instead of looking for specific 'servers', I instead used the 'magnifying glass' to query on certain hastags (I just guessed on logical possibilities).
e.g.
For regional - #alaska finds a lot
For areas of tech - #broadcast returns a lot, including ones for my specific interest/area of work #broadcastengineering
Pretty powerful stuff!
Also, this seems to be a much safer space, so I've adjusted my profile to include my real name.
Not sure about the best method of verification - haven't done anything with gpg/pgp keys in 20+ years, but perhaps they'll make a comeback? The cool thing about 'key parties' was that you got 'verified' by people you knew and who knew you, and that spread via the whole 'degrees of separation' thing.
I also understand 2FA is possible, so I guess I'll want to figure that out next.
A word of advice from others - since the servers communicate, you don't necessarily have to sign up on one of the busier ones. For instance, I chose one that seems more to align with my interests, but if you search (for instance) for hashtag #TwitterMigration you will be able to see very helpful posts.
