Ask HN: Is Twitter's blue check mark best for authenticity?

2 pointss-t-8763y ago2 comments

I don't know if people still use that as proof of authenticity, or if there is currently a better popular place to talk to developers

I just posted a two links to Dev.to article on HN and it doesn't show up on the main feed,

I never use FB for work, LinkedIn is for recruiters.

is twitter blue check mark a forever seal for web brands authenticity? or is there a better alternatives?

Dev.to is blacklisted on HN since it is mostly low quality content (and it is), not sure how you didn’t come to that conclusion yourself.

Authenticity is doing what you love and if that happens to attract a crowd then great.

Twitter has nothing to do with being a seal of anything, and once again I have to wonder how you came to these outlandish conclusions.

What I mean is authentication/verification for the brand that is digital web-based, you are the person officially representing it, I am asking if there is another popular method to get verified, to not get confused with someone else.

if you have a common name.
