Good question!

Not a Damus user, but I've heard that it means you've switched on notifications only from people you follow.

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing about these purple checkmark icons in #damus…

I thought at first it was verified users (#NIP05 ?), but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Since I’m not verified but have the check.

I’ve also noticed this weird thing where it seems the only people I can successfully follow on Damus have this icon. Anyone else I follow without it doesn’t ‘stick’.

#Zaps for anyone who knows. Or maybe someone from the nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 team can enlighten us!
