Verification will very quickly become an issue on Fedi, I believe.

Even now, we have multiple "Linus Torvalds" accounts.

Some have thousands of followers and a few posts, but do we know if any of them are actually him? Including the newest one on .social...?

Obviously Linus should know how to paste a link into a website he owns for verification.

However, if normal users can't do it, it's not good enough. What happens when/if celebrities start signing up? They're not gonna be linking to a website they own for verification.

That's the tabloid's problem then, and who believes shit in tabloids anyway?

"Pregnant Man Gives birth, that's news, it's in the Weekly World News"

Frankly I don't give two shits whether it's the person they claim to be...i don't even look at usernames most of the time. I care even less about what some public figure, especially an actor, says.

If a figurehead decides to be active on any social media, I don't pay attention to that garbage, because that's what it is.
