🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER. 🚨
Currently there are scammers who want you to click a link by acting like #Mastodon staff
Please REPORT these accounts so we can ban them across the #Fediverse
WE DO NOT VERIFY PEOPLE ON MASTODON 
@stux Another attack vector enabled by the current "ID verification" craze. 🙄 
@stux I wonder how is Mastodon doing in countries that ban social media for kids?
@stux But, but... how do I know if someone's a celebrity if there's no verification badge? :o
@stux Just reported one myself. Yeeesh. Where’d they all suddenly spring up from?
@stux my home address is 293 Tanglewood Dr, New Castle, PA 16105 can you please verify me
You keep our mastodon coffee pretty darn clean of bad stuff, thanx!
Bumped into one tonight too...
@stux one of the predictable issues with all this verification bullshit was fake verifications… annoying.
@stux Also seeing some sort of spam campaign regarding "monetizing your account" at the moment
One account that I've seen (but not received anything from) on Mastodon dot World has already been nuked, so their admins are finally paying attention
@stux to paraphrase Australia's "my.id": on the Fediverse, the way I post verifies me
