So they chose an identical symbol. Engineers continue to astound me in their human factors choices. If it's "starkly" different, make it look different, like a gold seal or whatever.

This is likely not an engineering choice, don’t blame the engineers.

Most likely it’s ui/ux designers or product owners or marketing

I thought the whole point of the domain verification system was to not rely on checkmarks -- a system which has already been proven to be easily abused and not scale

I just saw a Bluesky developer comment on this, seems they're really taking a beating over it
