 INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING THAT PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED.

BLUE CHECKS JUST GONNA KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT RATHER THAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. WHATEVER, FUCK EM.

NOSTR FIXES THIS. 🫡 
 The funniest part is that those blue checks are willing to fork over money to Elon (the very guy they’re complaining about) to gain “legitimacy” XD 
 The purpose of blue checks is to ID you  
 LFG 🔥 Nostr for the win 🤙 
 I HEARD CHECKMARKS ARE COOL BRO. WHEN PURPLE CHECKMARKS?
IMAGINE USING CHECKMARKS ON NOSTR!? SIKE, LETS NOT AND SAY WE DIDNT. 
 First they can stop buying the blue checks. 
 coracle.social censors with its web of trust algo.  I know you can change the default settings but few will,  and its easy to get a lower score when just a few decide to mute you (for various reasons) . When that happens you can't reach ANYONE, you are out forever and you can't even tell people who havn't muted you, because the algo mutes for them.  Mute by algo is worse than being blocked by individuals.  I hope other clients don't adopt this. Its a shame as coracle is very good otherwise.
