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.
rickrolls were ruined by the likes of you
well good riddance, that 'joke' got massively overplayed and has not been funny for a long time
Stop feeding the trolls...
(considering what’s left behind on Xitter, that’s probably a good thing)
What do you mean? "Cracking down" is good or not?
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.
Sorry, can't wait, boss said all ropes tied by noon
I don't understand why it wouldn't be reversed. Everyone on the internet is fake until proven otherwise
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?
