Carter has the correct idea

reminder to any bird site users: bluechecks are always farming engagement, don’t engage with these fucks in any way, you should completely ignore them. that’s what they hate most, especially my-hero

    i cannot stress enough: DO NOT ENGAGE WITH BLUECHECKS, DO NOT QUOTE-TWEET THEM, DO NOT REPLY TO THEM, THEY MAKE REAL BLOOD EMERALD MONEY OFF YOUR GENUINE RAGE. join a local org instead and make a real difference in your community

    This is mostly true but also I (and many sex workers) buy the blue check as a sort of mafia protection racket. We kind of have to be on there for work, and we get deleted a lot. I bought the blue check after I got my account restored the last time. I figure they are significantly less likely to delete me if I’m paying them. So far, so good.
