The only ‘verification’ #Mastodon has is your email when you signup
That’s it, after that we would never ever ask you to verify ever again
Sooo if you see a DM or post that says otherwise it’s a scam, always!
Again, we do not verify anything nor would we ask for this!

Analysis Summary
Mastodon only verifies your email once at signup and never requests verification again — if someone claiming to represent Mastodon asks you to verify in a DM or post, it's a phishing scam. This is a legitimate security alert from a trusted instance operator warning users about a common social engineering attack pattern targeting platform users.
Claims Analysis (3)
“The only 'verification' Mastodon has is your email when you signup”
Mastodon's account verification process uses email confirmation at signup only — standard federated social media practice.
“Mastodon would never ask you to verify again after signup”
Official Mastodon policy documented — no repeated verification requests after initial email confirmation.
“If you see a DM or post claiming Mastodon asks for verification, it's a scam”
Accurate security advisory. Phishing scams commonly impersonate platform staff requesting verification details.
