@darius @wilkie I am unclear if you intended to leave things open-ended or not. It seems like you’re implying a world where, say, my local paper has a staff profile page for each journalist, which that journalist can use to fulfill the link verification interface. This way the paper wouldn’t have to have a their own fedi instance on their own domain and a journalist might be able to keep their same account on whatever instance if they move jobs to a different paper. Does that seem right?

@benhamill @wilkie yes! Something like that as one of several solutions available

@benhamill @wilkie there are also proposals for robots.txt style solutions where a network admin could bulk verify any number of social media affiliations with their org

@darius @wilkie Indeed. Then we just have to hope those orgs have strong a offboarding process, but… yeah. 😜 I like this shape in general. I’m very not a fan of the new things popping up trying to be centralized verification services. Kinda defeats the purpose of fedi.
