 @c6f37363 @fe7be4a1 ….and they still think Mastodon isn’t a suitable alternative or even additional venue for them to invest effort in. 
 @3b85fa58 @fe7be4a1 I am seeing some serious movement by Post accounts to Bluesky, which does have a more obvious verification signal--if somebody's handle is a domain name. 
 @c6f37363 @3b85fa58 @fe7be4a1 
The Post could start their own Mastodon server and give accounts to their own journalists and do the verification on their own. How is that not a more obvious verification signal? If I see 'writer@washingtonpost' I'm going to believe that's who it is if I know that's the Post's server handle. 
 @12f3c8c4 @3b85fa58 @fe7be4a1 "Could" and "would" and "would do well" are different things.
