Meta took a small step towards supporting the fediverse by adding the ability to verify your Threads profile on Mastodon on Wednesday.
The verification will likely appear on your Mastodon profile in the form of a green highlighted bar around the Threads link along with a checkmark.
Apart from Mastodon, you can also use this attribute to verify your Threads profile on services supporting the fediverse such as Wikipedia, Gravtar, and Flipboard.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri also noted this update in his post and said it is one of the “meaningful steps towards adopting open standards and the fediverse.” He also said that the company has been using an “early version” of Threads on the web internally.
Last month, Mosseri said that because of technical challenges, the Threads app won’t support the fediverse at the launch.
Last year, after Elon Musk took over Twitter, developers built many link verification services for Mastodon as people were migrating to the fediverse.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
