Lots of "how dare they solve a real problem with the only method yet invented" in these replies. Gtfo losers, clutch your pearls harder. If you don't like Bluesky don't use it. Don't be a whiny little bitch about it.

If it ends Elon, I’m gonna allow it. If Twitter fails, his stock in Tesla will have to back it. If that tanks… he’ll have to work his way out of bankruptcy. Just squeeze….

He’s already sold Twitter/X to xAI; he’s got his arse covered when the bottom eventually falls out.

I don’t see anything controversial in the article. Did I miss something? Just looks like a way to make sure the public figures and companies you are communicating with are who they say they are.

Tbh I've seen more people asking for this than the people complaining.

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.
