  There’s been a lot of impersonated accounts popping up lately, so it doesn’t surprise me they’ve opted to do something like this.

    Oh yeah, they are literally everywhere. And a lot of them are impersonating people that haven’t switched from Twitter yet to take advantage of it specifically.

    Bluesky already has domain based verification which solves that perfectly, I guess people just don’t want to use it.

  How come they don’t use the already built in domain verification? It’s basically fool proof to certify that an account is owned by a specific entity.

    It’s what Twitter had and most people on blueksy just want Twitter before Elon. It sucks but that is really what the majority of people even want. They don’t care about the decentralized stuff.
