Comparing Reddit’s official badge with the rest, Twitter Blue offers a slew of exclusive features like the ability to edit tweets and post long-form articles. On the other hand, Meta Verified for Facebook and Instagram serves enhanced protection from bad actors and grievance redressal. The official label isn’t a paid perk either, unlike the blue badge sold by Twitter Blue and Meta Verified.
Reddit is sticking to the basics of online legitimacy protocols here, one that is inspired by the original blue tick verification from the pre-Musk era. The ultimate objective is to protect brands from bad actors and impersonators, and at the same time, safeguard community members from any kind of material loss due to scams. Reddit’s move is definitely a breath of fresh air, but lately, the company’s record hasn’t been as community-focused as it seems at the moment.
Following a controversial change to its API policy a few months ago that essentially shut the doors for third-party mobile apps and volunteer-driven work, thousands of subreddits went dark in protest, and hundreds of them are still protesting. But instead of holding a productive discussion, Reddit’s CEO went on an aggressive reasoning spree and made it clear that Reddit was focused on milking money from the platform’s trove of precious human interaction data. As moderators tried to cut down on engagement as a form of protest, Reddit forced their hands and warned that it would start removing mods.
