Bluesky, a growing social media platform, has unveiled a blue checkmark feature aimed at improving user trust without compromising on decentralization and user control. Previously, users could self-verify by connecting their domain names to their usernames, a move that has seen participation from around 270,000 users. The new blue checkmarks will be provided by trusted organizations initially and will transition to allow user requests in the future. This stands in contrast to Twitter's paid verification system, ensuring that Bluesky remains true to its principles of identity-centric and transparent verification.
Bluesky's new blue checkmark feature aims to build user trust without compromising its principles of decentralization and user control.
The platform’s verification is based on trusted verifiers rather than a solely application-driven method, promoting control over identity online.
Unlike Twitter's monetized verification, Bluesky’s approach emphasizes identity recognition and transparency, ensuring that users' verification is not tied to financial status.
With over 270,000 people using its self-verification option, Bluesky demonstrates a commitment to user empowerment in maintaining their online identities.
