LOL π€‘π₯³
all accounts with over 1 mil. they stripped mine right after they launched this. so i just unsubscribedπ€·ββοΈ
Reportedly, anyone above 1M followers is getting their blue tick back
LMFAO
Learning from things blowing up in his face seems to a trend. π€·πΌββοΈ
Should have said reacting.. learning was a bit generous.
On brand with the rocket tests too
Their company policies appear to be set by a flaccid weather vane.
Guess so. I'm banned for a week for a sarcastic comment
Anyone over 1m followers has been automatically getting it I think
He realized it's not in Twitter's best interest to lose you.
What an honor!
Ain't you lucky
I think Elon knows if you have the check it won't be a scarlet letter. He hopes πππ«
If you have 1m or more followers you get it. Or if youβre a buddy of Elon then you get it for lols. Death is no obstacle either π€·ββοΈ

De quoi ne pas en faire tout un fromage.... Twitter et Enon continuent de meubler encore l'espace ...
Dumb dumb dumb dumb duuuuumb....lmfao one bird will die soon, and the stronger bird shall live on!!!
What happened to your NIP-05? π€·πΌββοΈ
Got rid of it
Think theyβre saying if you have over 1M followers you get your check back. Thatβs just what I heard. Not 100% sure
US dollars?
why so?
Never really thought it was necessary if oneβs pubkey is well known already.
#[4], Do you think its time to say goodbye to the blue/purple check for NIP-05 addresses? I make the case for it here: https://blogstack.io/naddr1qqyxxwf4vccnwcmrqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsyg9qpr00z4uklw56p4h6kp8gl4ts3y59m874qhd94ql732k40g6kf5psgqqqw4rshy3kcn
What would happen if you change your name to Elon Musk π€
according to the rules the blue check should be gone, but you still have above 1M followers that automatically qualifies you for the badge.
Iβd love for that to happen π
lol Elon
π€―
Twitter is so fiat.
Little people still get to pay so about right. π
So as long as Iβm rich and famous Iβm verified, if not I have to pay my tythe to Sir Elon for the privilege of interacting with bots and celebrities.
Nice sign me up.
The ruler keeps sliding.
The public court of the private square.
I wonder if they all have two factor and this is βverified their phone numberβ or they just lying sticking blue stickers on people
Seems like all cool people refusing to pay had a market effect on that blue checkmark, who would guess π€·π»ββοΈ
Hit the Road, #[1].
Nah, Elon just bought it for you. He thinks people will stop blocking blue checks by doing this to prominent people.
Aucun intΓ©rΓͺt Jack non?
The blue check debate was almost as intense as the likes debate.
What's the etymology of "verification?" π
La gente en twitter es un espΓ©cimen interesante xd
Newsworthy π
They canβt keep it straight.
Do they even turn a profit?
New virus alert?
It's your world, the one you created
just for you
Are you off Twitter b/c of the corruption it exposed while you were a leader?
I must admit I paid for Twitter blue but cancelled yesterday after the millionaires were given it for free. π
Lying too, says you paid your 8 dollars and verified your email. π€·
Do you honestly care?
πΌ
This mind reels
#[2]β thereβs a chance!
nah, im not cool enough. @jack has more skin in the game than i do. im just a lowly pleb. but to be honest, i don't need a twitter bluecheck. i don't overly care about twitter as much as i used to care about it.
:)
Ofc Jackβs account is best hope at marketing #nostr right nowβ¦next best would be to target bigger accounts by like 10% and convince to help :)
For all legacy accounts or a few?
Seems a lot suddenly is verified noting it like you paid for subscription. Even dead Kobe B. Not sure whatβs going on over there.
Congratulations for what ? π
π€‘π€£
The back and forth on Twitter between implementing a change and then backtracking is getting annoying. Really wish heβd pick a course and stick with it.
You can't see what's coming?
No
Apparently, all accounts with 1+ million followers are getting blue checks again, for free.
You mean - all the people who don't need it?
Wasn't quite what I was thinking but probably.
Itβs more about training his AI I feel.
Yeah, very useful for that.
Web of Trust > any silly checkmark scheme
Do you still care if Twitter succeeds or fails, or have you completely moved on?
Yes they did, but for the ones with a million followers
aw man it was funnier when you werenβt π€£
jack is jack π
π
Looks like they are giving it to 1M + follower accounts
π

Musk is paying for it π€·π»ββοΈ lol
It's strange to me that they didn't see this cluster-f coming. Assume large part of twitter's value comes from high profile people engaging in mutually beneficial tweets. Wouldn't it be obvious to figure out which accounts those are and keep them blue for free rather than trying to suck $100/year out of them.
I am likely falling into the "he doesn't know what he doesn't know" trap. I must be missing something obvious.
And Another One βοΈπ€£
I learned more on blue mark removal on Bette Midler posts.
Later I learned many got their blue marks back.
Fairness came to my mind.
Now Twitter gets to pik-n-choose who gets them for free.
Are there any fairness in this?
pros VS cons?

Blue check now communicates Elon fanboy rather than authentic public figure. He will make you his fanboy damnit!
