Farcaster Verifications are coming soon Verify your account by connecting two socials (X, Phone or GitHub) and holding $25 in your wallet. Verified accounts are less likely to get the spam label and show up higher in the feed, replies and search. They are necessary to earn weekly rewards and qualify for airdrops

Hmm. I get why you're doing this. But I don't have github, have not been on X in ages (planning completely delete on my 17th Twitterversary in June, because I'm here). So, I will not be verified? I was here before permissionless, I held my OG NFT because it's a badge of honor to me. Now does this mean I will no longer qualify for rewards? To be clear: I bailed on X to build my presence here. Since I came over, my X account is as good as abandoned. Because I'm here. So, there's not much to verify. I get why, and I see what you're doing for newer accounts, but can I please get some other criteria. Like OG NFT from the original drop? An active FID in the lower 5 digits, since before permissionless? Being trustworthy enough to get two relatively generic and now reasonably active channels (/poetry and /f1) appointed when we went to permissionless.

Maybe what stings most here is the X verification. I came here to find refuge for what X had become. Toxic, bloated speak, too much sending. Would it be possiblemto add other verifications. For me, LinkedIn would be a good one. Instagram, maybe. Or Lens, Bluesky... Just not X. It implies you want to bring that culture here.

Agree and I'm a proof of seeing Arjan do this. Another way could be probably 2 verified people vouching for one more person and could be a leveling to verifications who have moved on from other socials and don't have Github or wanna do number.

One of the main reasons I stayed on farcaster was Arjan poetry last year. Prior to that, it's just as good as dead to me.
