Twitter now treats verification as a subscription donation system, but I wasn't a fan of the previous Twitter centralized verification either. A true verification system simply ensures that a user is part of a computer network that belongs to an organization.

3. Likewise, nodes should have been able to defederate or disconnect from other nodes. 4. Verification is stupid. Verification should be obvious and inherent, not a centralized body. For example, if someone's handle is "@cnn.net" that already certified that they're a journalist.

If you email someone or receive an email from an official domain from an organization, you trust (Unless they've been hacked) that that person belongs to a real organization who set up the email system in the first place and can be easily be checked.

Not even Mastodon has this! because Mastodon depends on users signing up for individual node domains. No social media site has used the most obvious verification system since the Internet was invented. And Bluesky could have done that, but they were captured by their idiot users.
