It could prove to be an important move from Meta.
  1. On my Threads profile, I changed my featured link to be my Mastodon profile URL.
  2. Then, on my Mastodon profile, I changed one of the featured links to be my Threads profile URL.
  3. After I saved that change, my Mastodon profile showed a green verification checkmark next to my Threads profile URL. Success!

    Ugh. I hope that instances aggressively push back against this.

      All they’re doing is adding rel=“me” to featured links on Threads account pages, I don’t see what issue this creates tbh.

      Against what? Against people having “verified” ✅ checkmarks next to websites they put in their Mastodon profile?

      Because that’s all this is.
