What do the stars next to some usernames mean?

I haven't used the app in a while but I'm looking for a new one.

Those are Fediverse verified users. It costs $8/month.
- /s for people in doubt
  
  I’m in doubt, but I don’t have a /s next to my name.
- DM me your payment info if you want to become verified and we'll set it up.
  
  My "payment info" is that I currently have a total net worth of 2 (two) crumpled $1 bills, and half a dozen Kyrgyz rubles from 1992.
Do you have like a screenshot example? That would be helpful if you do.
Stars? I've never seen anyone with a star.
- Oh, really?
  
  Screenshots?
  Edit: do you mean the little triple star icon next to the timestamps of new comments?
The rainbow one that if you click takes you to the instance of that person?
Could you give us an example? I haven't seen such thing in Thunder before.
It means they've edited their post.
edit: check it out
- No. Thats the pen.
  Do they mean the stars next to the timestamp? That just highlighting "new" comments.
  
  It's an asterisk if you're using the Sync app.
  edit: just realized where this was posted. Disregard.
