Verification on Mastodon
Verifying your identity on Mastodon is for everyone. Based on open web standards, now and forever free.
Privacy-friendly
You do not need to submit your documents anywhere, so there is no chance of them being leaked.
Am bawb
You do not have to be a celebrity to verify your identity. You just need to have a website or web page.
Decentralized
There is no need to trust a central authority. The verification can be manually confirmed anytime.
There is no blue badge
Identity is not a yes or no question. There are few truly unique names in the world, so why should only the famous ones get a "yes"? At Mastodon, we don't rely on legal names and blue badges. Instead, we rely on the fact that people can be identified by their official websites.
Here's how
Put a link to your Mastodon profile on your website or webpage. The important part is that the link has to have a rel="me"
attribute on it. Then edit your Mastodon profile and put the address of your website or web page in one of your four profile fields. Save your profile, that's it!
