Holy. Shit.
I need to make an exclusive invite-only Mastodon instance with verified accounts, so being @ that server will be a status symbol.
Is Bluecheck.com taken?
(except now someone else will do it. Also I'm too lazy to actually do this)
- ndm000 4y agoI think this is where it's going. Particular Mastodon servers will provide certain guarantees to their users and about their users. It's easy to envision a white-glove server + service that provides user screening, phone support, etc. at a price. Over time when certain celebrities join it becomes the popular server and sought after as a username destination.
- viraptor 4y agoThere are attempts like that for various communities. For example https://journa.host/about https://journa.host/about I'm sure when bigger celebrities migrate, someone will start a service optimised for few huge (in follower count) accounts.
