But if the server admins are like “🎉 Hey everyone! I know that you will all love to see him, please welcome Mass Murderer Johnny Regular! 🎉”, that’s when you ban the entire instance.

Did Bsky do this? Or did they just verify an official account of a government entity?

The SS was a government organisation, are you saying we should welcome them into our servers? Islamic State was a government organisation, are you saying we should welcome them? - No, we shouldn’t.

The SS wasn't a government organisation, it was a military unit. It's like having an official account for 101st Airborne. I don't mind these not being around, but ICE is a federal entity, their primary task is to handle immigration and Customs Enforcement (that's literally their name). The fact that they got turned into para-SA/SA by the current administration is kinda' irrelevant here.

We’re not legalists, just cause it’s legal and officially supported by a government doesn’t magically make it moral

Instance admins shouldn't be moral police.

It’s implicit support of them.

That's an absolutely insane take. Imagine saying: "allowing Nvidia to have an account on the Fediverse implicitly means the Fediverse supports everything Nvidia is doing with AI and chip/RAM supply".

Define Verification: to state that you approve of the user/org and officially recognise it. So they did both.

It does. Implicitly

No, that's ridiculous. Verification in online services means that this particular account is verified to be the actual account of said government identity. You just confirm their identity, not state that you're giddy that they joined, mate.
