I like to clarify why we don’t have a verification system like the #birdsite with the blue thingy next to your name.
On the #fediverse or at least #Mastodon we all are equal. No person is ‘higher in ranks’ or better than everyone else, our point is exactly the opposite. We want equality right?
We have plenty of methods to prove who you are on other platforms, we don’t need a badge for that Ofcourse you can use it however you like but this would be the reason, I’ll hope you’ll understand
Here you go mate
Found the post about verification on #Mastodon
@stux Blue Badge/ Tick is a symbol of hierarchy... one may also call it Brahamanical hierarchy... Smash all type of hierarchies be it patriarchy/ caste/ religion/ language/ race... BLUE TICK...
@stux legends!! thank u for this, i feel like i'm friends w everyone here and this is so comfy
@stux questu tatche bien sûr on est supérieur
@stux Makes sense to me. However, I have seen people with blue checkmarks in their names here already (I've been on this site for about half an hour). Am I to then take it that some people need their little blue comfort blankets even here?
@Nihilizt The blue tick is just a custom emoji what people use in their names It doesn’t add anything haha
@stux Yes, I know. My point is that there are people who feel the need to add that emoji to their name as if it actually means something, as though it were some sort of comfort blanket to them. I find that simultaneously sad and hilarious
@stux I liked dat !
@stux People crave hierarchy....it's just an innate human behaviour !!
@stux okay fine, I think k the I should switch on twitter again.
