Not having anywhere to put a url in the profile, mastodon can't support distributed verification. http://www.kevinmarks.com/distributed-verify.html
@kevinmarks Hmm. I see. Well, it's nothing that can't be fixed.
@Gargron Add a Url Field, put Rel="me" on it, and it will work. Should I write a Github issue?
@Gargron you could do the rel=me verification on the backend too. That would be neat.
