I'm honestly considering a paid verification program in Pixelfed to help sustain the project long term.

It would be a centralized list, and would be present in clients, regardless of server.

A blue checkmark would not only help our project financially, but would also provide a trusted visual mark of verification.

Thoughts?

@dansup As a business model, it sounds like a good approach! As a user, built in domain verification tools already tell me that a user is really who they say. So rather than a "verification" badge, you might consider calling it a "supporter" badge or something like that. Meta is doing something similar.
