@Craktok@mas.to That is true. Tho for me, in terms of building trust is this system not that much better than a verification system that had people behind it to check. In a time like now where scams and phishings are as high as they can be and with a system like Mastodon where everyone would be able to create an account with the exact same name as someone else, just on a different instance, is such a simple verification (I honestly can't even call it that) not a good or at least safe way to avoid scams and alike. Of course a verification involving people to do the checks would have a chance of bias, corruption, etc. and would also go against Mastodon's core principle of de-centralization, so it's not the best option either... Like you said. Nothing is foolproof. But that's just my opinion here.

Replying to

@Mastodon@mastodon.social it's nice, but sadly can people still fake it using the classic typo domains like f.e jolnmastodon(dot)org. Not a foolproof thing.
