Embed Notice

I get many questions, so:

Mastodon does not have verified accounts!

When you see anyone with a blue/green checkmark behind their name, that's just an emoji. Anyone can set that in their Display Name.

To avoid confusion, we disabled the :verified: emoji on Mastodon.world a while back.

If you want, you can still pay $8 like you can on Twitter. Just go to the donations page https://opencollective.com/mastodonworld

Note: I've been told using emoji in your displayname isn't nice for people using screenreaders.
