@FediTips hey there how do I dm you? Mastodon does not give me the option. I want to ask a few valuable questions but yes you are right no such thing as a stupid question.

p.s. There is a verification system on Mastodon but it's entirely voluntary and does not use credit cards or involve any kind of payment.
If you're interested in genuinely verifying your account, there is more info on how to do it here: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-verify-my-account
TL:DR - If you have an official website you can verify that your Mastodon account is also the owner of your website. It's self-service and does not involve any kind of payment or payment cards.
