Blue checks have come to Bluesky…and users aren't happy about it (see the replies).
This is exactly what Twitter tried to do, and it backfired rather spectacularly, creating a two-tier system without any clear criteria for membership.

bluesky blue checkmark
X’s blue checkmarks are deceptive, rules EU
The European Union has warned X its blue checkmark verification system violates rules under the bloc’s Digital Services Act, finding it to be deceptive for users and against established industry practices. Following its investigation, the EU also found X is failing to comply with transparency obligations

The #bluecheck went from exclusive badge to forced brand under #ElonMusk. Now #X (formerly #Twitter) is eliminating the choice for users to hide their paid verification status.

X will no longer allow users to hide their Premium blue check, even if they didn't want it in the first place.
The new policy comes after users with a high number of followers were automatically upgraded to Premium for free, says @theverge
"Once a status symbol, the blue check lost some of its luster after X shifted to a paid verification system under Elon Musk’s ownership."
"That’s not verification. It’s also not valuable. It’s just designed to hide Musk’s incompetence in managing the platform, while (once again) undermining the whole “pay me for this site I’m making worse day by day” business model that #Musk keeps pushing."

This is why paid verification is stupid. No profile picture but has a blue check. #twitter #bluecheck
@GottaLaff It’s kind of funny how this is being portrayed by the #BlueCheck #Ignorati on #SpaceKarens #Hellsite as “CO SOS puts #trump on ballot unless #SCOTUS overrules.”
And by funny I mean pathetic.
Musk is taking fake advertiser money to place ads that use his own name and face to falsely endorse their product, and burdening the fact-checking community with annotating it.
I can't even.
#Musk’s X revokes paid #bluecheck from #UnitedAutoWorkers after strike called. ‘…#Tesla pays lower wages than the Big Three automakers currently faced with striking workers… Musk's stake in the strike could go beyond wage questions... #UAW's negotiations also seek to expand benefits for union workers involved "in the production of electric vehicles & the batteries…to power them," The Intercept…& those conversations could also impact Tesla operations.’ | Ars Technica https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/09/musks-x-revokes-paid-blue-check-from-united-auto-workers-after-strike-called/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
Blue check Twitter (X) subscribers will be required to submit their photos and a photo of a government issued ID to an Israeli company with ties to Israeli Intelligence.
After this, every Twitter blue check mark should be seen as a little target symbol for any scammer who is looking for the world's most gullible person.
#ElonMusk’s #X can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time
Friday night is a good time to announce you’re not paying your bills.
"That’s not exactly what you’d want to hear from a program touting itself as “part of our effort to help people earn a living directly on X,” and the key to Elon Musk’s X dream for an app that handles #banking, stock trading, and other vital financial features."

Yeah, it's a GREAT sign when your membership symbol, the whole status thing you've been touting as an eagerly-sought feature of a subscription, becomes something you have to let people HIDE to avoid mockery. #ElonMusk #Twitter #x #bluecheck
#Twitter #X #Musk #Mastodon #Fediverse #BlueCheck
*Twitter Blue subscribers can now hide their blue checks to conceal that they’re paying for Twitter and avoid memes about how “this MF paid for twitter.”*
Just move to Mastodon! Simples!
