Neil GaimanI'm here. It's me. Magic!
The (green-ticked) Neil Gaiman
Nakul Shenoy 🕴️@neilhimself Thanks much for this. We can already start tagging him where relevant. 🙏
David Reinertson@neilhimself Hi. Not triggered. Just exploring
Emerson Novais@neilhimself and when he arrives, we are already here — waiting and doing our antics, like the Endless.
LINDA@neilhimself thank you Web Goblin I look forward to seeing his posts here
yimidu@neilhimself but how can we be sure that this comes from Neil himself? Wait, there's a way! And only 8$ away!
That Blair Guy@yimidu if you click his profile, you’ll find a link to neilgaiman.com with a green highlight. That means he (or a designated substitute) has linked back to the profile demonstrating both are controlled by the same entity.
Here’s instructions on how you can set your own profile to be verified, no faceless corporation required. 🙂

Joe Fulgham@neilhimself If you link to his Mastodon profile from neilgaiman.com and put
rel="me"
in the href, Mastodon will put a green-check next to the SITE in the profile, confirming identity
@joefulgham @neilhimself Interesting, the check shows when using a browser but not when viewed in the Android app. 🤔
inhonoredglory@neilhimself I’m new here too but willing to go anywhere Neil treads in the event of other social media collapse. Keeping the fire warm for ya! 🪵🔥
LizzyboI came here because you came here. ☺️
@neilhimself Thanks for the invite Neil. Been meaning to try this.
@neilhimself It’s been lonely waiting for y’all to migrate
Nafnlaus 🇮🇸 🇺🇦@neilhimself Seems he's here now, no? :)

wakest likes your bugs ⁂@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... 🙏
@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. 😕

Joel W.@FerdiZ @neilhimself looks official to me! 🤔

@neilhimself Hello there. 🖤
Shmee@neilhimself welcome to Mastodon!
Natalie@neilhimself 🎉 welcome!💫
Capitão Barba 🏳️🌈⃤@neilhimself so, shall we... Wait... and See? 
Brian Swetland@neilhimself Nice work using the meta-data link verification feature. I wish more people would (especially if they already have personal sites, blogs, etc they can easily cross-link).
Welcome to the Fediverse, Neil!
Madds@neilhimself Nice to know you're here just in case
Diane PlacenciaHey @neilhimself ! I followed your invitation link from the “other place” and now I’m here poking around too! You’re my first follow so hopefully I get a follow back…maybe? 🤞
Wren Brier@neilhimself welcome! Good to see you here :)
@neilhimself Hello Neil, glad to see you here 🥰
👀's Belle@neilhimself Read the CoC and cross posting a boost that's political in nature, news or advocacy for (insert group) is not allowed. If you do so you must turn on permanent notice for Sensitive Content and label it also as Content Warning w short description so if anyone boosts you, they won't get banned for nonlabeled boost across instances (servers/groups).

@neilhimself Welcome NG!
Liam@neilhimself Welcome!! Hope you enjoy it here :D
@neilhimself I thought you aren’t on any social media 😂 I’m coming from Tumblr. Never really used Twitter before. You are the sole reason I applied an account here. Just wanting to say hi and thanks for the push for me to venture into other social platforms.
JoYo@neilhimself welcome, make yourself comfortable.
no need to choose between twitter and mastodon until musk makes that choice for you.
