     @lampsofgold The checks I see at Mastodon are pretty underwhelming honestly. Doesn't convey what journalists want.

     @kevinrothrock mastodon has this exact feature, my squarespace website in my bio is verified this way

     I suppose Mastodon allows something similar if not identical, but I'm not totally clear on that.

     @lampsofgold You have to navigate to the bio to find it. Not good enough, IMO.

     @kevinrothrock @lampsofgold It appears in search and any list of profiles. We might eventually show it alongside posts proper as well.

     @kevinrothrock what do you mean? the check in my bio is proof that someone with the ability modify the website at that address also has the ability to edit my bio. This is precisely the proof bluesky offers.
