To build trust the Mastodon way, is to avoid surrender of private documents and rely on digital counterparts instead. Mastodon profiles already showcase verified links with a green checkmark because people trust more when they are able to confirm and share more pieces of their identity.

Are you part of a community or running and instance that would be interested in a test of anti-fake profile software?
Does anyone have any stories of fraud or bad actors abusing their community they are willing to share?
I’d like to know further the tools you are thinking of regarding resolving this issue. I think is bigger issue is disinformation and misinformation especially with the presidential election coming up and all of the Trump trial stuff.
indeed.
