Some additional notes: 

* social accounts must be at least 18 months old 

* verified accounts are much less likely to get the spam label (but can still get them if they behave in a way that is spammy or inauthentic) 

* verifications do not guarantee that someone is human, but they make it very difficult to spin up a lot of fake accounts quickly. this is very important as storage prices are set to reduce significantly

Kind of odd I'm going to get locked out of everything because I don't own any socials over 18 months old

And as a bonus have increased chances of getting a spam label

Is my social presence here of over a year not worth anything? Why lean to other apps only?

Yep, having similar feels.

I think with these rules they have mainly focused on solving the problem of assessing newcomers, and have not focused on the few of us that have been here for a bit longer. I think I'm here about 2 years now. I do have other socials, but basically don't use them anymore.
I would love to see some FC Native Verifications.

I think they have two verifications, you can skio the country of origin one I believe

I'm conflucted by the number. I have no issue, but it is a point that can be used to make country of origin assumptions. So I don't like that part.

They can check my wallet for the coinbase kyc check, should be good enough no

Don't you think they also scare away newcomers with the phone number requirement? Assuming most don't have an 18 months old github account
