Just returned today from one of the things I love the most: Eurovision. Everything about Liverpool this year was fantastic — a well-produced show, friendly locals, nice areas and activities going on outside the arena. Truly had a blast.

@why.bsky.team I wonder if you guys plan some form of verification on this platform? One of the main reasons for me to leave Twitter was the fear of being impersonated now that you have to pay to prove who you are (which can be dangerous for journalists who, like me, deal with sensitive topics).

Twitter removed my bluecheck today. I have refused and will continue to refuse to pay to confirm my identity on a network where I produce content. I have been using it less and less anyway since it became so toxic after Musk, and now it seems like a good excuse to use my profile here on Bluesky. 🌌
