The account verification process on Mastodon is excellent. Not only is it free, but it doesn't require you to provide any official ID or other intrusive documentation to proof your identity. It is a privacy-respectful verification feature.

## Blocking users and instances
You have a lot of control on which information you show and see on Mastodon. Like for other social media, you can block users individually on Mastodon. But additionally, you can also block a whole instance if you aren't happy interacting with it. This, like an individual block, can benefit your privacy by restricting further who can access your posts.
