Link is to the Bluesky account that tracks companies moving to Bluesky (in particular, but it is in this case so I felt it's a fitting link).

They in turn link to the Firefox Bluesky profile.

That they went [...] to not even managing to verify their account.

Is there a way on Mastodon to verify an account, like the blue hook on Twitter used to be?

Well, I guess the open source and privacy communities are just not among their target audiences any more.

I think privacy aware people already use 'vanilla' Firefox or a derivate, so the communication and information directed towards the 'muggles', e.g. convincing them to use Mozilla's software or FOSS in general, is different from that.

Yeah. For example, @thunderbird@mastodon.online has verified their account: The link to thunderbird.net has a green background on their profile, indicating that the profile is run by whoever owns that domain.

It's super easy. You add <link href="https://yourserver/@yourusername" rel="me"> in the header of your website, and include said website in your profile on Mastodon.

You can also include a link anywhere on your website including rel="me", as in <a href="https://yourserver/@yourusername" rel="me">Follow me on Mastodon</a>

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
