Is your proposal related to a problem?

Lack of verification of profiles

Describe the solution you'd like.

Pitch A central body ran by the Lemmy non-profit that verifies users. Due to the de-centralised nature of Lemmy the recognition of this authority would be opt-in per user / per server and if opt'd-out a user would not see verification badges given by the non-profit. As well as that, all verifications should be shown on the website in a downloadable a dynamic CSV file showing what body / person is being verified under what account (usernames change, maybe a different ID). Also, there should be a feature that would allow other people to make their own verification bodies in which people can opt-in to with their own badges, you could hypothetically opt-in to different multiple authorities at once.

Motivation Safety of users, prevention of misinformation, makes famous people more comfortable to join the platform

Describe alternatives you've considered.

1)A single authority 2) community upvoting accounts
