    Too many people thought that Twitters Blue Checkmark meant you were special. That attitude carries over to Bluesky and being verified.

      Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”

        I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”

        yeah but you have at least half a brain.

        most internet users barely have 1/10 of one. and demand other users be banned for not sharing their opinions, but would be outraged if they were banned for their objectionable opinions.
