@ariadne Sooo the birdsite doesn't have the entire SRE team staffed mere days ahead of a sports event that usually causes a massive increase of traffic?
you would like to "verify" yourself on the fediverse? great, no problem.
1. go to namecheap.com 2. register a domain, get their cpanel hosting or whatever. 3. put some website up on said domain, include something like <a href="[YOUR FEDIVERSE PROFILE LINK HERE]" rel="me">Follow me on the Fediverse!!!!!11111oneoneone.</a> in your HTML. the rel="me" is important. 4. link to your website in your fediverse profile. 5. the software will mark your relationship as verified, have a nice day

@ariadne it's very true that authentification of digital identity shouldn't be a feature of a centralized or distributed social network, where we end up being stuck with "login with Google/Facebook/mastodon.social" ; also we may need several verifiable digital identities not necessarily linked to our legal/public/national identity, that should only be an option. In that sense, the Blockchain could be a good solution to authentication both for digital (anonymous or not) ID.
matrix's third room stuff looks cute, though given the rest of matrix, probably is lacking some highly important moderation feature that will make the whole thing a waste of time
interesting that naia, the admin of howlr.me (which you should block), is going after the media figurehead of the movement trying to shut down kiwifarms. it's as if she were a kiwifarms user or something.
@ariadne what? Keffals is being criticized for very real things. Like letting her followers dogpile black trans people, and calling a black trans woman a tumor that needs to be excised.
@ariadne Which really makes me wonder why the bootstrappable (reflection on trusting trust) folks are targetting GNU stuff instead of musl kind of stuff.
@ariadne time to add branches to the treehouse π‘
