Verification on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse works differently to most social networks. Symbols like :verified: or ✅ or the word "verified" are NOT verifications as anyone can add them to their profiles.

Verification on here works through special links on an account's official website. You can find out how to create a verified link in this guide:

For example we know @wikipedia is official as their profile has a verified link to their website.
