Bluesky officially announced on Monday the rollout of its blue check verification feature, aimed at validating notable accounts on the platform. This will help users distinguish real accounts from impersonators, especially for public figures like journalists and celebrities. Initially, verification will be handled by a select group of 'Trusted Verifiers' from reputable organizations, onsite moderation will further validate users. While Bluesky already permitted domain verification, this additional visible confirmation addresses user feedback for a better trust system. A request form for users to apply for verification is expected to be introduced later.
Bluesky announced on Monday that it is rolling out blue check verification, confirming previous rumors that this feature was on its way to the platform.
Bluesky says that its moderation team will verify each new verification to validate authenticity. This added layer of verification is intended to help cut down on disinformation.
