🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER.

@stux Also seeing some sort of spam campaign regarding "monetizing your account" at the moment
@chris__martin @stux Which is hilarious on the face of it. Of all the places to go to 'monetize your content' Mastodon ain't it.

@stux@mstdn.social arguably they are failing to act like "staff" too, anyone who actually understands how fedi instances are hosted should immediately recognize the scam I saw earlier

@MarkBrigham
Using the ellipsis (3 dots) below the toot, it brings up a menu which includes Report. It can also be done from the ellipsis on their account page.
As always, fedi.tips has this covered

@poisonpunk @stux that's a separate and (I believe) legitimate thing people are trying to manage.
I see a lot of #gazaverified people acting kinda spammy, though, but I am never sure it's not just a misunderstanding of how to use the platform or sheer desperation.

@stux But, but... how do I know if someone's a celebrity if there's no verification badge?
