- Bluesky is introducing blue check verification to confirm the legitimacy of notable accounts.
- Initial verification will be handled by 'Trusted Verifiers'—independent organizations verifying their team members.
- Bluesky's moderation team will validate each verification for authenticity.
- Existing verification includes domain-based usernames, with 270,000 accounts already linked to websites.
- Blue checks aim to reduce disinformation by clearly marking authentic accounts.
- A visual signal (blue check) is added to enhance user trust in account authenticity.
- Bluesky plans to launch a verification request form in the future.
