So many people are joining Mastodon and missing one crucial step: verifying your account! You might think, “I’m not important, why should I care?” Think about it as a way to protect anyone who follows you. Consider: 1. Someone sets up an account claiming to be you, automatically grabbing real posts from somewhere else 2. They get a bunch of followers 3. They post, “really struggling this month, a little could go a long way” with a link to Cash App How would any followers know it was a scam?
