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

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @hisold@toot.io It is missing.

$ curl -s "https://arstechnica.com/" | pup a[href="https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica"]

And their instance runs 4.6.0-alpha which isn’t released yet. So I can’t tell.

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.
