Don't worry, Jack Dorsey will also randomly verify neo-nazi podcasts with 1000 followers just like he did on twitter
First he needs people to buy into verification being "trustworthy" - I see no reason to believe hes changed his hardline practice of abusing verification
Oh one hand I think they should have went with a different design. On the other it’s great that they finally have a way to know that the account you are following is officially the person, company, or organization you want to follow.
Oh come on, you really think a billionaire like Jack Dorsey would manipulate the platform in ways that directly benefit him, his political ideology, and interests just like he did on twitter before the sale?
Oh please tell me this is a joke wtf? People are gonna lose their shit when they realize the bluesky board is just like twitter like where else can 30 million people move to next
Is Jay Graber a transphobic and homophobic pos she seems too good to be true or is she cool?
There is no website that gets my correct name, birthdate, or a picture of my ID.
Including a verification, even if done by the community, means it's only a matter of time until someone tries to automate it via birthdate or ID check. Which means this will shortly become a gated community.

But flutters is also a good one if you must be fancy about it haha.
• Select independent organizations will be able to verify accounts directly

RIP bluesky, it was nice 💜
I'm sure he wouldn't pull the same trick twice? Right?
Fool me once, shame on Jack. Fool me twice? Nah billionaires are very trustworthy people and always want what is best
Also no this isn't gonna work the same way that elon's blue checkmark works
Since he isn't, at least we're safe in that regard.
Just wait until Jessy Signal gets a blue check, along with other nazis
Market place of ideas blah blah blah. We've been down this road before
