Gregory's Server
@jerry @siguza @winload_exe @Gargron i think there is a clear difference between an innocent mirror and something that is intentionally misleading people into thinking it's associated or official (the "verified" link claims that the person behind the fedi account owns the twitter account, and the use of a verified checkmark - while they don't *mean* anything, it seems fairly sinister to imply something that isn't true)

@ipg @jerry @siguza @winload_exe I'm a bit skeptical of the utility of those green checks because it's always a false sense of security to some degree. It just means that one particular server is claiming it's verified. This definitely highlights the flaw.

@ipg @jerry @siguza @winload_exe @Gargron Agreed—they should be blocked for the false claim of ownership alone. Why would they want to make such false claims just to get followers for a bunch of mirror accounts?
