I guess with IRC etc it is or was harder to hide, Now any one sets up multiple social media accounts, can use fake names etc,

At least here we can take control, block people, or block whole instances,

I have find you, where as Facebook, twitter helps me find you, and vice versa. regardless of if we want to find each other.

The CEOs of big tech don't care, we had people trolling the UK first vaccine recipient too.,

I have raised this on the WriteAs forum
https://discuss.write.as/t/mastodon-verification/2270

my point at the ends is asking more if this is a bug given that WriteAs uses Activity pub

@freemo @skyblond I can ask on the WriteAs forum about this, but on My blog I would add

[linktext](url link) to add a link somewhere, is there a way to add rel="me" in to that using markdown ?

I just copied in the html from my profile on here.so maybe I need to add proper markdown tag.

How to verify accounts

I am trying to verify my Mastodon account, but this isn't working, I have included the verification link on my personal blog (writeAs powered) and also on my Diode.zone account and there are links from here (qoto) to both of those.

It seems that WriteAs is stripping the Rel="me" part out and replacing with nofollow. But I am just pasting the html directly.

How have other people achieved this,? I think the process needs to be really quick and simple, but also robust enough to avoid abuse.

If the Fediverse is to grow this could be essential for getting more high profile people or even business, charities on here.

Thanks for any help, if people could share how have done this successfully ( as quite a few have the green tick) then it helps others do the same, .

Hopefully raise the profile of the Fediverse in general
