@atomicpoet Agree completely on gatekeepers being captured by malicious actors. However, I do think the issue of identification in journalism is important. Journalists and news media depend on their credibility. As do we. And that IDing should be fairly idiot-proof. Not sure there is a solution but it would be nice if there was one.

@johnwehrle Identity is a different nut to crack. Green checks are better than Twitter's old blue checks, but what we need even more is a complete re-evaluation of online identity—one that can't be owned by any corporate entity.

@atomicpoet @johnwehrle an organization can set up its own instance and then let their employees be the only people on the instance which effectively verifies those people as members of the organization. The best part is if they decide to leave the organization and go elsewhere they get to keep all their own data and profile but can join a different organization and join their instance.
