@atomicpoet @aaronbuckner My hope is that we can find good ways of discouraging impersonation. That to me was the only upside of the old blue check, though you have certainly highlighted the concerning downsides that came with that.

As you said, one thing I do like about the green check is that anyone can do it. Like, is it important that we don't have people impersonating powerful people where one fake post might affect the lives of millions of people? Yes. I think it is important to strongly discourage that. But it would also be nice for the average person to feel like someone can't impersonate them to tarnish their reputation, even if it doesn't affect millions of other people.
