There is no verified checkmark on Mastodon.

Sometimes I wonder if allowing emoji in display names in the first place was a mistake 😕

@Gargron So the verified thing is an emoji?  I thought it was real.

@seonghwa Exactly

@Gargron I guess, it's time to add some rules about impersonating things. 🤔

@seonghwa On mastodon.online and mastodon.social, I do not offer any custom emoji that looks like a verified badge, but I can't stop other servers from doing so. Though I think it is irresponsible of them...

@Gargron Yeah, it makes some of us confused about the verified things and friends keep asking me how to do it. So, so.

@Gargron @seonghwa seems like contributing to the artifical scarcity of the clue check would only serve to help Twitter prop up its artifical value and perpetuate their class system. The reality is even on Twitter the blue check *is* meaningless because it is arbitrarily granted.
If you only want to avoid confusion for Mastodon users, have you considered giving everyone a blue check?

@seonghwa @Gargron who are some of them?

@daraul @Gargron ... Who ... 'who' what?
Show threaddaraulNov 3, 2020
@seonghwa @Gargron the profiles impersonating someone else. I found google, Facebook and Reddit so far

@daraul @Gargron Oh. I haven't found one, but for now, some of user are roleplayers (like in the blue bird app, like act like the idol, but they write it on their bio tho).
