    So they just want parody accounts to be clearly labeled? With the number of people constantly eating the onion, I’m gonna say that’s not the most terrible thing. People are dumb. They believe dumb shit.

    Edit: Given that public officials use Bluesky and the whole check mark fiasco over on shitter, I’m just gonna say maybe they should have learned their lesson before now and enacted policies like this a long time ago but I guess better late than never. Can’t have a CDC parody account saying to drink bleach.

      I mean they did, you can verify yourself with an official domain name. I think a lot of the problem is new Bluesky users not understanding one that if they are a high profile user they need to do that, and two that users need to look for officially verified domains to see if a user is legit. If you look at the official steam accounts, they are all verified with official Valve owned domains.

      And considering there’s so many new accounts, its not like one can go back and check the post history to see if what they’re saying adds up.

      There were accounts, posting seemingly “up to date” information with no way to really fact check. There were some political “personal” accounts just testing the waters with BS. Stuff like: “It’s me. I’m not going to say anything else yet, but, here I am.” It made it kinda hard to discern.
