What the hell does “corrupted” even mean here? He’s in full control of the platform. Is it being corrupted by the fucking chaos gods?

If I had to imagine a real answer here it’s that no one kept track of why people originally got the blue check and so now he can’t selectively uncheck people he does not like.

Yes. Nurgle has cast a divine plague upon their code base. Any who attempt to work on it become infected and turn into putrid sacks of grease and bile.

I’m guessing they’ve decided that removing blue checks from people they don’t want to have them is too difficult and will come with too much of a blowback.

So what they will do is sunset the blue check entirely to remove absolutely everyone from it, then they’ll bring in a new system and start from scratch while refusing to give it to anyone that is remotely left wing.

I just assumed he really wants Stephen King’s $8 but I’m sure shutting down leftists is also on the plate.

The premium is a separate thing to verification. A verification system is still a necessity for the site to run properly so it’s got to be something other than just that.

It’s just like when he said “the tech stack is sooooo crazy we can’t do anything” it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just an excuse.

He invents an inherently corrupt neoliberal monetization of an existing system to exploit a majority accepted “norm” of trusted identification of individual users and now claims it’s corrupt.

He’s not talking about the $8 blue checks here, he’s talking about the free ones that the marginally famous had when he took over. He wants his $8 a month from Stephen King.

I support the rights of our blue checkmark overlords to signify their social status with a blue checkmark.

Its actually worse. He claims his new monetization scam system is corruption free, but the old legacy system is too corrupt to maintain

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
