I'm new to Mastodon code and find it hard to understand exactly how some components are drawing and getting their data - If anyone could lend a hand or just answer a few questions, it would be amazing!

I'm also looking for admins who can install/test a branch or patch that extends the verify system in some nifty ways.

Please if you are familiar or just run your own instance, reach out because your help is greatly appreciated and could make the world a safer place.

 

LinkedIn and other popular social sites are offering more options to verify that work for more people in more geographies.

To build trust the Mastodon way, is to avoid surrender of private documents and rely on digital counterparts instead. Mastodon profiles already showcase verified links with a green checkmark because people trust more when they are able to confirm and share more pieces of their identity.

Unfortunately, this task requires technical expertise and the process isn’t easily portable to other Mastodon Instances.

Are you part of a community or running and instance that would be interested in a test of anti-fake profile software?

Does anyone have any stories of fraud or bad actors abusing their community they are willing to share?
