That's not going to help make people want to switch to your platform.

Why? I don't see the harm in labelling parody and impersonation accounts.

(considering what’s left behind on Xitter, that’s probably a good thing)

What do you mean? "Cracking down" is good or not?

[+] NocturnalMorning -16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Cracking down on parody accounts is stupid. Removing accounts actually trying to impersonate someone, that's a good thing.

Did you actually read the article?

They are cracking down on accounts that don't label themself correctly as parody accounts, so they don't impersonate someone.

Man I wish people wouldn't just read headlines and start tying.

I don't understand why it wouldn't be reversed. Everyone on the internet is fake until proven otherwise

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunately that wasn't been a thing for the past 10+ years since the generation that told us "don't believe everything you see on the internet " decided to get on the internet and ignore their own advice.

So why add the reverse feature now? If a need was identified, the tools presented to enact it, why do it in the shittiest way?
