Just because an account got verified doesn't mean Bluesky agrees with them

Verify it, then put a warning along the lines of
"This is the official profile of a fascistic terrorist organization. Beware."

Yeah, that makes sense. But why just verify? What non-evil is there that you achieve with that?

It gives those who're gonna have a field day with those cunts when they start lying, a legit target, and that it's not some asshat that is pretending to be ICE. I'm on bluesky and somewhat delighted they're going to have a presence. I'm gonna have fun ripping them new assholes.

The verification doesn't work like on Twitter, it's just proving the identity, it's not some flag of prominence.

There's even multiple organizations who can issue verifications on bluesky, for example newspapers can act as verifiers of their own staff;

Narrator: in fact they did agree with them, for the money was green and did flow and in the end that was all that mattered to them

Mastodon was always the only real choice

They shouldn't be allowed onto the platform at all. Don't verify them, ban them.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I’d rather the platform not be in charge of who’s allowed to use it. Yeah ICE sucks, but that’s not for the platform to decide.

If they break the rules of the platform, that’s a different story.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network -1 points 3 months ago

Yes it does. It means they are okay enough with them to not ban them.

Surely there are some things that warrant a ban on bluesky. There's some sort of line beyond which you are not welcome. We can infer from this verification that ice is on the safe side of the line.

I'm sure there's at least one marxist that's verified on bsky, does that mean jack dorsey is a communist?

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Just a quick side-note: Dorsey is no longer in charge of Bluesky

Jay Graber is
