I wonder if the people at X ever read their own announcements.
Literally explaining how they sold out and enshittified the "blue checkmark".
This also seem like yet another step towards mandatory IDverification on social media! (only to protect them kids & democratize the platforms of course ๐)
. [] As you know, on 1 April 2023 we began winding down Twitter's legacy verification program: Previously, to receive the blue checkmark, [highlighted in yellow] accounts had to be authentic, active, and deemed notable by Twitter staff [] (for more information on the legacy policy, please click here). Now, following the changes implemented to democratize the platform, the blue checkmark has a different meaning and identifies accounts that have an active subscription to X Premium/X Premium+ (including services such as reply prioritization) and are complete, active, secure and non-deceptive, regardless of perceived notability. X supports freedom of speech and does not endorse or validate the views expressed on accounts featuring checkmarks.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5a5f0078-f9d0-466d-ac44-40461a616042.jpeg)
Good X announcement because it further kills the site
Bad? Who gives a damn what happens in a Nazi bar. Don't go in.
Who still uses Twitter (sometimes also called X) anyway?
to democratize the platform, lol.
Shouldn't they be up in arms over all this treading X is doing on them?
reply prioritization?? some dumbass can pay for their replies to be more visible? lmfao can't believe everyday people still support X ๐
the irony is that Lemmy feels more authentic even though it doesn't do spying and shit
