OK, so I have been reading around about Mastodon as the big tech sites are shining some light on it. In one of the posts I saw this text..

"If you want a checkmark alongside your name to prove that you are who you say you are, you don't have to pay anyone; instead, you add a link to a website that's under your control, and that serves as verification."

OK, so what does this look like if you've done it (or know someone who does)? Surely not the Twitter checkmark thing. #Verified
