       I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

       Interesting self-observation: Once a relevant subset of my social network has arrived here, the utility of #twitter has almost dropped to zero for me. Seriously not missing it *at all*. Hopefully we'll see more journalists and news outlets soon. #TwitterTakeover #twittermigration

       "Twitter is the ad-dependent print newspaper bought out by private equity that now needs to service its debt, and the first order of business is to sell off the real estate, lay off staff, hike subscription costs and hope the core customer base doesn’t notice everything is worse." -- Matt Pearce, Los Angeles Times#twitter #TwitterTakeover

       Who's preventing a guy with an obviously completely rotten moral compass like Elon Musk from crawling through tons of DMs? Technology isn't. #TwitterTakeover

       @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Yeah. I did. Not such a stupid fuck as you thought. After all. Stay positive.

       @stux I had a very similar idea: Offering an instance where people are verified according to a well documented and fully transparent process, e.g. by Photo ID, etc. Of course, it won't be about paying for verification. The instance would effectively signal: The team has seen the Photo ID (and probably other means) and can attest for the identity. -- All of these ideas boil down to the question, whether there's a case for special *purpose* instances as opposed to special

       @stux *interest* instances. Another example could be verified.press. On the other hand, if we create more instances that potentially grow to very large user bases, it is a bit against the idea of having a vastly federated landscape.
