The only ‘verification’ #Mastodon has is your email when you signup
That’s it, after that we would never ever ask you to verify ever again
Sooo if you see a DM or post that says otherwise it’s a scam, always!
Again, we do not verify anything nor would we ask for this!
@stux
Thank you for making that clear Stux!
Apr 27, 2026, 9:23 PM@stux me looking at my single-user instance which can't send emails: 🌚
If you operate a web site, that can be verified as part of your Mastodon profile.
Edit: to be clear, site verification doesn't involve email either.
@stux However, on Mastodon you can also ask your instance admin out for pizza and fet to know them irl.
@stux That's not the whole truth: If you operate an internet site, site verification is an alternative. That’s what I did…
