The wave of fake accounts coming up on 🐦-site is mind boggling 😀 If only there was a way to tell profile equivalence 😀

@bekopharm I thought it was legitimate accounts hacked?
@hypolite …yeah, so what happens if your “verified” account can not post?You either drop the verified or… watch in silence while someone else registers yourfancyname01 🙂
Slight tangent, but @bekopharm, I’m very happy to run across another IndieWeb-type person here on the Fediverse! I’ve been trying to get my online presence more IndieWebified this year, though my plans have been scuttled a little by technical issues, other projects, and, uh… (gestures broadly at everything)
@spencer Huh? There are plenty. Even @hypolite has it on the blog :D(thou does not use much of it but that’s fine)
@bekopharm @hypolite Yeah, that’s not surprising at all. I suppose that says more about my (lack of) exploration of the Fediverse than anything else! 😅

@hypolite see also: https://wiki.zegnat.net/media/the-real-deal-about-rel-me.html – my favourite article on the topic – it even features a Twitter example (unrelated to current incident) 🙂
