Bluesky adds blue checks for verification, like the Twitter of old
Briefly

Bluesky has unveiled a new feature allowing verified accounts to display a blue checkmark. This update enables select independent organizations, such as The New York Times, to authenticate their employees directly. Users can check which entity verified an account by tapping on the blue checkmark. This system is similar to Twitter's prior verification model and aims to enhance trust on the platform. Currently, Bluesky does not accept direct applications for verification, but future plans include a request form for notable accounts seeking verification.
