> Oh, you mean like Twitter verified accounts?
I was just explaining my interpretation of #12.
But not. I ment Lichess verified accounts.
Can't say specifically for #12.
But surely can do better than Twitter!
There are different ways to do so.
They already verify chess masters. And surely forum moderators are verified in some form as well.
However they could also use social media verification? Maybe even make donation a requirement for verification?
Some people might find that genuinely enough for their needs? Whatever they may be.
I don't use social media myself. And I really have no opinion on this. (Neither for or against, my opinion depends on Lichess's potential implications)
However I disliked how Lichess originally pinged their new Twitter account, to the top of the forum thread.
I understand they wanted (need) publicity, but they were simultaneously promoting Twitter to an international audience. (A platform mostly catering to Americans, and a type of platform, which, even before current events, I don't like)
Maybe not intentionally, but this was subsequently an advertisement more for Twitter than for Lichess.
They didn't mention other social networks, that are similar. They just said, Lichess now has a Twitter account. Is it to hard to copy/paste Twitter messages into other social platforms?
I am European, and I am curious... What the f*** is Mastodon and Twitter?
Even to this day, Lichess still at the bottom of their front page, have those two sites listed there.
Where is Facebook (I don't have Facebook either, but I know of it, and I don't see so much difference from Facebook)
Where is Instagram? (I know the name, but I don't what it is, to my knowledge it is similar Twitter)
Where is Chinese WeChat?
Etc etc.
