Hi Dan,

Thanks for the thoughtful response!

I didn’t know about this, I’ll add it it to my Mastodon profile!

I think this solution works for the tech savvy, but it’s trickier for the less geeky among us. As far as I can tell many of the verified people I follow on Twitter don’t have their own domains, and this might add a lot of overhead for journalists, academics, civil society types.

It’s an educational process, but my gut instinct is that the average non-tech person would feel safer texting a signal number listed in a (pre-Musk) verified on Twitter journalist’s bio. At least for now.

It will be interesting to see how this space evolves though; I’ll certainly be happy to see Mastodon replace Twitter.
