The Fediverse needs a better answer for identity, decoupled from hosting. Identity needs decentralized verification. I know none of this is easy.
I'm pretty sure this is where Bluesky is trying to differentiate. But it feels like it could be vaporware and I admittedly feel biased against things from the Dorseyverse.
Yes, the #Fediverse and #Web at large.
#Identity #Authenticity can be handled using existing open standards; it just needs new thinking on the parts of both end-users and solution providers.
If you lookup any of the following tags you will see related posts on this important self-sovereign (#SSI) matter: #YouID, #NetID, or #WebID, or #DPKI.

Iirc you can verify your profile by copypasting a link associated to your account to another site/profile of your choosing to act as your authenticator. This gives you free verification with open options to choose from to serve as a decentralized authentication server.
I don't verify myself as what you see before you is but a false reality ;)
