Newbies: Blue ticks do not have special meaning here...
If you want to have a blue tick your instance may have :verified: as a blue tick emoji, so you just put it in your name on your profile.

In my case, I've compromised with an ® in a blue shape, seeing as I do have a registered trademark in "revk".
Is that even more pretentious?
@26aafa19 I was pondering at least the fingerprint...
@revk although just how many will understand my ¬ :)
@grumpygrimnir LOL, some of us do, well done!
@revk I have wondered if putting my GPG public key somewhere on my profile might be a good idea.
