I am originating a new usage of the ✅. I hope it catches on, because in a sense it's mostly used this way now.

As portability is currently quite limited, the checkmark now indicates that I am actively using that instance, and that my other nonchecked instance identities are hibernating.

@five I already took it off again because thought being Unverified is cooler, but this is actually a good way of using it. *hat-tip*
@tim large motivation was the ongoing joke where new users think it's real and old ones play along, kill a couple birds with one stone
@five I tried the animated avatar as well, at first, but I have epilepsy now. Love how things filter themselves out. :)
