There are no "verified" badges on here. If you see someone using a symbol like it's just a custom emoji that means absolutely nothing.

However, there are still ways you can verify your identity on here. For example we know that the European Commission's official account is @EU_Commission

Here's an article going through how to verify your account on Mastodon and the Fediverse:

There's no charge on here for verifying, and anyone can do it.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

Hi #AI people. I’m on mastodon.social but only intended this to be until I found a more topical home. Where are people going to talk about AI, human-centered AI, and ethical AI, or #nlp ?
