Lol, but there is an emoji for the verified checkmark. When I first used mastodon I saw an account “Tony Stark” and it had that emoji. And it had me questioning for a second even though Tony Stark is not a real person and verification wouldn’t exist on the fediverse.
I am not sure, the issue I have is the Instance. It says something about christianity, I doubt he is into such things.
The problem with Mastodon is that there is no verification badge system like on Twitter, which makes it hard to spot a faker.
I think the Twitter account is also fake. He said he isn’t on any social media
