If it’s meaningless to you then I guess we don’t really need it after all.

Why not just advocate for better UI overall? We don’t need to introduce a class system on bsky to have better UI, surely?

I agree, however, everyone should have equal access to all features. Checkmarks have always been a way to give more power and authority over non-checkmark users. I didn’t like them with old Twitter either.

If you're easily fooled a checkmark isn't going to help.

Normal bsky handles end with bsky.social. It’s the default domain. But if you look at @npr.org they have their domain as their handle. This is how you know npr is the real npr. Verifying your domain is the only way to change your handle in this way.

The domain verifications means anyone can be who they say they are if they follow the domain verification steps. With the check system, you're only who you say you are if Bsky agrees. If you have a big enough following. Enough rizz. No peasants allowed.

Bsky has its own verification system with domains already. Big brands and govt orgs are more than capable of doing that.

I thought about this for a moment. In 10 minutes I went from neutral to heavily against this. This might not be as bad as Elon checks, but it still is certainly worse than pre-Elon Twitter checkmarks. You're giving special treatment to large organizations instead of leveling the playing field.

I had some issues with audio today after the update. The problem was the frequency was unset on some devices. It was causing weird behavior, like showing one device set but playing through another. Going to sound settings on each device and setting it to something fixed it for me.

Definitely, I think that's the default way of doing things. It comes with it's own dangers though. This was more of a response to projects like SudoLang trying to invent a language for LLMs. I feel like test frameworks are a better interface for that concept.
