I will not be paying for verification, not because I can’t afford it, but because I don’t want people thinking I’m a fucking dork who pays for Twitter.

@sonof8bits appears to be an exodus from twitter :)
@edenofficial I haven't really noticed any of the problems people were talking about. But also didn't engage in any (possible) racist conversation. On the other hand, the blue checks were already annoying because you could post something really profound and insightful and nobody cared. And then some verified user steals your content and gets a 1000 retweets. But most of all, Musk wanting to nickel and dime everyone, hell no! 😂
@sonof8bits @edenofficial It was indeed something that we saw coming, but the 8$ bluemark is where I put my limit lol
It's free here, and even with multiple colors!
@sonof8bits @edenofficial It is actually something that is dealt with at an instance level as I am understanding. You have custom emojis based on the server you're in.
Almost all of the instances I saw have the 
icon to mock #twitter 😂
In my case I can really do the inverse emoji 
@abde @edenofficial Hey @main step up your Mastodon game! 😄
@sonof8bits @abde @main literally have no idea how this works
@sonof8bits @abde @edenofficial we added these emojis yesterday.
@abde @edenofficial I tried
after my username but it didn't work 🤷🏻♂️
So went with the inverse emoji instead 😁
