Lmao this is embarrassing

Blue checks are coming to Bluesky!

It's an interesting hybrid model that combines centralized verification (Bluesky says you're legit) with decentralized verification (an outside org says you're legit).

It's pretty dumb

a post in the thread reminded me that it actually used to mean something useful on twitter, which I legitimately forgot about

using the same icon is a little embarrassing but if it makes Elon have a meltdown because a Bsky checkmark is a million times more valuable I'm okay with it

yechiel.me•2 days ago

Apparently they didn't want the blue check either for the same reasons, but nothing else worked with the site theme

ja.meswebber.com•2 days ago

they didn't have to use a check, but I'm not fussed about it

tessential.bsky.social•2 days ago

They already have those $1000 /month gold checkmarks

They're gonna verify your ass, Jeph.

Can’t wait for yet another round of whining from no-followers-ass white noise posters on here complaining about how the Social Media Illuminati are excluding them or whatever

If I ever get enough notoriety to qualify for verification, I’m gonna have to change my domain name.

Perhaps to balance things out they could introduce some sort of paid service for verification

My kink is being excluded by the social media Illuminati so this is great news for me.

Me with my 280 followers trying to pick a fight:

"Ehm, ahh...
...
I haven't read your comics in a while! Maybe they're bad now??"

As someone who loves to whine and has practically no followers, this is great news for me

gavaroc.bsky.social•2 days ago

Look I'm half tempted to push a meme argument that I deserve a check because I have exactly 69 followers and am thus 'Nice', but that only holds up if nobody ever follows me again

(Also what kinda fucko wants to he a 'nice' guy xD)

Ahgahd, I’ve already seen one barely explicable grognard meltdown (and that dude has followers for some reason). This is going to be a mess.

More like Ass-ymetrics amirite

Why, this honestly seems like a pretty decent change the way it is proposed.
