Big win for Bluesky, Firefox is no longer posting on X @firefox.com 2.4M followers on X

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>
