I'm here. It's me. Magic!

The (green-ticked) Neil Gaiman

@neilhimself Ha! You can't fool us. [j/k]
@FerdiZ @neilhimself wait now they are unverified I wonder what happened

@liaizon First before we go any further, I just want to unambiguously state that [j/k] in the above post stands for ‘Just Kidding'.

Now, /all that said/,...

Unverified how/in what sense..? As we both well know for this past five years or so, the only form of ‘verification’ that we have here in Mastodon is the <rel="me"> attribute at an external website, and that 'verification' still seems to be active as is seen in the green text at Neil's Mastodon profile..?

....And so I'm not sure if I've made this “Discourse” better or worse for having posted this reply. Nevertheless, here it is... 🙏
@FerdiZ the green has left
@liaizon Wow that's weird; I check just now from an Incognito window with no login on any server, and this screenshot was what I got... The Fediverse is being wonky again I'm sure. 😕
@FerdiZ @liaizon yeah for me it now seemed not ticked. Weird.

@FerdiZ @liaizon not verified on Mastodon Android app and at the same time verified on the PWA.

And I'm also on Mastodon.social so it's not a fediverse thing.

@nemeciii @FerdiZ not sure that the official mastodon android app shows verified status at all yet. they just added it on iOS yesterday I think
