    Thus, the decentralized platform is rolling out a “more aggressive” policy on parody accounts that aren’t clearly labeled.

    If it were decentralised, it wouldn’t be possible for the platform to set a network wide policy on parody accounts…

    Ahh, the plight of every young social media site as it makes the transition from childhood to adulthood in order to be taken seriously.

    A tale old as time.

    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.

      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.

    Makes sense… I’ve only used the app for about a week or two and now I started noticing its changes from primarily “ah, great to be on bluesky” to now where Elon apparently is following me… a person with like 3 followers.

      Even Elon is leaving Twitter? Now that’s how you know it’s dead.
