As for fediverse accounts underneath link previews, for now this feature requires manual review from our side so that we can avoid the risk of malicious sites framing users as their authors, but we intend to build out a self-serve system to manage which sites you can be featured from very soon.

@Gargron Iโ€™m open to help with verification process for Turkish media organizations, journalists, and bloggers. (Also will email you for myself.)

@Gargron Ah, I missed that part. ๐Ÿ˜… Oh, well... My blog theme will be ready when the times come! :D

@Gargron How come you didnโ€™t leverage the rel-author system that eg. Google+ had in place? See mastodon.social/@voxpelli/1127

@Gargron I assume the plan is to just use the profile links for checking if a site can feature you in the preview? (like the opposite of link verification) If not, there is an idea on how to do it free of charge ;D

@the_moep It will be a specialized list of domains where you are allowed to be featured from. I think it's a bad idea to reuse profile links for this because the intent would be incidental and their number is limited.

@Gargron is that the long-term plan, or just the interim plan while it's being tested etc? The idea of the platform deciding who qualifies as "legit" seems really weird!?

@Gargron rather than an allowlist system, how about a blocklist system which individual people could self manage?

I.e. individuals could enable citations & notifications, and then any time a link preview generates a cite back to them, they'd receive the notification and if it's not a legit article, just tap to add that domain to their own blocklist which would in turn stop those previews from including the cite.

This would be more in keeping with the decentralisation goal, surely?
