Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Unfortunately I mistook fedifinder's output of @theatlantic.com to mean they have an instance. I don't think they have one (yet) unfortunately but this is only a question of time I hope.
If you like Mastodon it'd be great if you supported their development with a modest donation like I've done.
There's no better way to annoy Elon than to bank roll an alternative to Elon
See this tweet for two ways of donating to Mastodon:

And look - MIT already has a gated instance. Anyone who's on mastodon.mit.edu is verified to have an MIT email. Neat isn't it?

@DeeDeeBaldwin I wonder whether we could get ITS interested in working with the library to establsih something like this?
