This may be the first step in a return to a legacy-style verification system , instead of the one instituted by X, where it is simply a subscription-based model.
and last week announced in a blog post that it will begin to roll out a verification system, one that doesn't require a subscription model.
The introduction of a more formal and conventional visual verification system may also to enhance user confidence and foster a safer online environment. And by proactively addressing fraud and impersonation of public figures, this new, visual cue system aims to boost trust by ensuring that accounts are authentic.
"Bluesky's moderation team will then review each verification to ensure its authenticity," added Schreiner. "These accounts will display a checkmark in a scalloped circle next to their account name, instead of a rounded one. It's another step in helping to develop a safer digital community.
"Although these features may initially benefit power users such as news organizations, journalists, celebrities, government officials, and other high-priority accounts, Bluesky has indicated that they will accept checkmark requests 'once the feature stabilizes based on user feedback,'" said Schreiner.
