hisold@FediTips@social.growyourown.services On my Instance, @arstechnica@mastodon.social doesn't look to be verified. It does on mastodon.social though.

I'm not sure why this is, it's possibly to do with a cache of an out of date profile on your instance?
But yes if you look on the account's original page at https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica it is verified.
leckse@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @hisold@toot.io rel=me is missing.

If it was missing, why would it be showing as verified on mastodon.social?

Hmm... I wonder if Ars Tech had it when they originally verified but then removed it on a later revamp? 🤔
If they never altered their profile then mastodon.social would never re-check the code and it would continue verified, but other instances would recheck it when they federate the profile.
