One approach for this is to allow uses to put (an arbitrary number of) 
rel="me" links on their OSM.org user page, which link to that user's 
profiles on other sites. Mastodon supports this and if you put a link on 
your mastodon profile to another page, it checks for rel=me (pointing 
back to the user's mastodon page), then you get a soothing green tick. 
Currently OSM.org strips that 'rel="me"' attribute from links in your 
profile page.
