Bluesky is launching a new verification system featuring blue checkmarks for authentic and notable accounts. This initiative allows the platform to proactively verify users while introducing 'Trusted Verifier' status for organizations like The New York Times, which helps validate their affiliated users. This move seeks to streamline the verification process for independent creators and journalists who previously faced obstacles, such as using a domain linked to their username. While users cannot yet apply for verification, Bluesky plans to accept requests once the system is stabilized based on user feedback.
Bluesky's new blue check feature aims to verify authentic and notable accounts, mitigating impersonation risks while facilitating easier verification for independent creators and journalists.
The introduction of Trusted Verifier status allows respected organizations like The New York Times to validate users more effectively, enhancing the platform's overall trustworthiness.
