Verification pop-up for badge issued by Wired

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification.

The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

Yes but I don't know if I can complete it in an even remotely reasonable amount of time haha. Excited to see this year's publications regardless!

Isn't the deadline in like 1 week?!

Reddit’s users and moderators are revolting against its CEO A lot of Reddit will go dark soon in protest of API changes

The big mistake that the CEOs of both Reddit & Twitter have made is failing to realize that their sites are supported by lots of unpaid labor (creators, moderators, etc) and it’s not enough to focus on experience of users who’re mainly readers of these sites.

Major Reddit communities will go dark to protest threat to third-party apps Moderators say third-party apps are essential for their work.

A healthy form of checks & balances in my opinion.

They're literally always doing this
