Overview
- Bluesky is rolling out official blue check verification for authentic and notable accounts, including government officials, journalists, and celebrities.
- A new 'trusted verifiers' feature allows select organizations, like The New York Times and WIRED, to verify affiliated accounts with scalloped blue checks.
- Bluesky's moderation team reviews all verifications to ensure authenticity, maintaining a layer of oversight in the process.
- The existing domain-based self-verification system remains available, with over 270,000 accounts already using it.
- Applications for verification are not yet open, but Bluesky plans to launch a request form after the system stabilizes.
