Bluesky has launched a user verification system aimed at confirming the identities of notable personalities on the platform. Building on a decentralized ethos, Bluesky permits selected organizations, termed "Trusted Verifiers," to independently verify users, which distinguishes it from Twitter's previous centralized model. Despite the announcement, many users have questions regarding the selection of verifiers and uncertainties around the self-verification process. Bluesky has not disclosed which organizations outside of itself are authorized to verify, leaving several key inquiries from the community unaddressed, particularly on criteria and future partnerships.
"The arrival of Bluesky's verification system raises questions about who will be verified, who has the authority to verify, and the overall process of user verification."
"Blueskyâs verification leans on decentralization by allowing selected outside organizations to verify users, differing from Twitterâs centralized approach to verification under Elon Musk."
