You mean whats the issue with giving them a platform?
No I mean what's the issue with them being verified
Nazis and their allies should not have a platform.
When blueksy verifies them, it tells you that bluesky is aware of their presence on their (private, centralized) platform and accepts it.
Thus, the verification requires allowing them to have a platform.
Since they should not have a platform, they should not be verified.
So it's not the verification itself that's a problem, but rather the platforming
You do not platform Nazis, let alone legitimise them with “verification”.
Yes. And verification requires platforming, so transitively they shouldn't be verified.
They have a platform. It's a podium in the white house. It's having thousands of thugs pillaging, and likely soon raping in your neighborhoods.
Knowing what they say is relevant.
And you can go see what they say there, you don't invite them into your house to do it.
I don't wanna go to Twitter, ever, if I can help it.
You said the white house, not twitter. That content will already be distributed through traditional media.
Block and move on.
I subscribe to a bunch of blocklists so I’m pretty sure I won’t be seeing their “content” anyway.
You don't block Nazis on the system you own, you ban them outright.
These people are responsible for the death and murder of many and your response is to pretend they're not there next to you and let them spread their propaganda?? What the fuck is wrong with you.
Shadow banning works better than banning even in games
Let them in, put them in a room that nobody visits and let them rant there. Tell everyone that the room contains a crazy person.
It’s the United States government. The platform is implied and given by the people of the United States.
Until that ends… I’m not sure banning them from everywhere but x will make sense?
Any no government entity refusing to enable them is good.
