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"
