Fellow #news #newsie orgs and #journalists. We're proud to host https://verifiedjournalist.org as a free resource for locating authenticated journalists and news orgs on the #fediverse but the cost just went up as we’re needing to register in multiple countries. Is it worth it to keep this service going to you? Total cost will be close to $1,000/year for all the keywords and domains. We do take donations, but to date, it doesn't cover even the hosting costs.

This looks promising! https://mastodon.world/users/mufasayc/statuses/113074528680017855
Happy Friday #journalism friends. We recently upgraded our free service that helps #journalists and #news orgs around the world verify their presence on #mastodon and the #fediverse! Check out https://verifiedjournalist.org to connect with verified journalists.
To support our mission to provide this service, please consider a monthly tip of $1 or $5 (links available on the site).
Can we get a #boost?
@lars Sure, see https://thedoodleproject.com/the-fediverse/ for details.

Hey #news #journalists #journalism friends! Make sure you get verified using our free service at https://verifiedjournalist.org. Takes just a few minutes and comes with great perks like weekly traffic stats for your #mastodon account and great visibility with the largest open repository of #verified news on the #fediverse! Give us a boost!
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social Okay, I’ve verified you! You should get a DM from me (the bot) in a bit to update your profile so you can drop the link in for the verification label. Let me know!
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social My guess is that your OAuth credential on your instance is still valid which makes sense. Assuming you didn’t get an error when you clicked log in to my mastodon server and it took you to the page to fill out that form, go ahead and hit submit!
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social Ahhh - interesting, okay, that one is gone now too
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social Okay, log out of your session with verifiedjournalist.org and close/reopen your browser. Then, go in a start again with Login, enter your mastodon server URL, authorize it, and it “should” let you claim your profile. Send me screenshot before you hit save and I’ll make sure nothing wonky happening on our side? (You appear to have found a previously unknown bug!)
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social Oh! Looks like we didn’t get things quite cleaned up like I thought. Is this your current/new one or old one:
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social :( I am so sorry! Looking into this now. One moment please.
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social Okay, I’m going to delete your existing account and let’s have you recreate just to be sure everything is working clean. Should be gone in about 90 seconds.
@lastwordonsport@mastodon.social @jeff Greetings! I did mark your account as verified, but I am wondering if the move you performed isn’t being liked within the system. Wanna try this? Go ahead and recreate your account with the new information and we’ll remove the old one.
Apple’s biggest open source projects, Swift and WebKit, continue to regularly post on Twitter, and have no active presence on Mastodon.
@w7voa Cruel and unusual punishment…for being female :(
Good afternoon #news #newstodon #journalism #journalists! Doing some maintenance on https://verifiedjournalist.org. Outage expected for ~30 minutes!

Delighted to announce that inbound migrations are now supported for custom domains AND the https://ourselves.space community. Come, be yourself at ourselves.space, and bring your own domain if you like. https://thedoodleproject.com/singleuser for more!
Attention #mastoadmin types! https://ourselves.space and all related internal services will be going offline for a few minutes for an upgrade! #mastodon compat services impacted. #peertube #bookwyrm #pixelfed #writefreely services unaffected.
@danielmrose - want to continue tinkering with it, or should I go ahead and disable? I wish there were a better mechansim for searches. Granted, the only "blocker" here is when people search you by name - (user)(at)(domain.com). The rest of the ecosystem works fine, ie, people can follow you, they just will see your service domain in your username instead of your domain. :(
