Bluesky going down the verifications rabbit hole in a hilariously hamfisted way. Actually, that's a bit too kind. They're doing it in a way that will makes brands and corpos happy, but fundamentally compromises their stated mission of decentralization. By centralizing verification power, you end up with the same godawful power dynamic of old Twitter.

Trust doesn’t come only from the top down; it emerges from relationships, communities, and shared context. That’s why we’re also enabling trusted verifiers: organizations that can directly issue blue checks. Trusted verifiers have a scalloped blue check.
