We’re starting this initial roll-out with a small and non comprehensive group of accounts. Currently, we are not accepting requests for verification. As the feature stabilizes based on feedback, we’ll launch a request form for account verification and trusted verifier status.

Why'd you have to pick check marks and blue check marks at that. Couldn't come up with an original symbol or an original idea to verify a badge. This is lazy.

I'm looking forward to getting my account proactively verified by @bsky.app bsky.app/profile/faus...

I like this detail

Good detail actually. Clearly associates where verification comes from instead of just adding third parties to a pool of those making potentially opaque decisions

No check - blue butterfly

Don’t do it. It creates “Us and Them” we have had enough of that shit.

@bsky.app Can I filter an advanced search to only return results from Verified accounts? If you make that work then Bluesky becomes hugely useful wrt finding IRT opinions from credible sources for issues involving specific expertise as they become relevant to current events.

@jay.bsky.team April 1st was weeks ago

@pfrazee.com @bsky.app @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app I don't understand your verification system; all my social media accounts are verified. I don't understand why you're not validating my verification request. So, with W Social it was quick, I hope you'll accept me this time thanks

Brilliant

Will be open to music artist l have big following on other pages

Feedback: when I reach to press the username with my thumb I accidentally press the blue logo instead and open the popup.

NYT is NOT a trusted verifier

I would like to be considered for verification as I am far to lazy to be going around paying for domains of my own. I am also happy to wait for the application version too as long as it works! We all know what's been going on with blue ticks on the bird app ¬_¬...

Please don’t do false balance and make Fox News or the likes trusted verifiers, too.

Trust doesn't come from the NY Times, unless you're trusting them to back the Nazi regime.

You've posted the wrong picture, lads. That was a post about trustworthiness.

"For example, this oligarcgal propaganda outlet. ☺️" No thanks!

Today I applied to be the headline writer for the NYT. My application: editorial@nytimes.com I am applying for a job writing headlines for the NYT. My qualifications are that I am ANYBODY and that ANYBODY would be better than your current writers. I can start today. Let’s all apply! Repost! #NYT

Giving that zionist transphobic shit rag of a newspaper the power to judge people as legitimate is a sick joke

Lol But fr tho.

And.... the New York Times is your example? Is this a prank?

Oh.... Wait... Maybe we want the Scalloped ☑️ !

'trusted verifiers', aye, very good 🙄

Nooo, please!! Can't we just have the app as is? I don't want to see check marks here too 😫😫😫

The New York Times is a “trusted verifier”? Hmm, credibility draining…

the new york times is your poster child, are you kidding we all know that you don't care for trans people too much, but you gotta be more subtle than this

Nice!

Make it so that if you block the so-called "trusted" verifiers their "verifications" don't count anymore, thank you. I don't and will never trust the NYT with anything.

Hovering over a user icon should show who they were verified by. A key part of a web of trust is traceability - I don't trust everyone you trust, but I do trust some of them. If I can see who did the verification, I get to decide my trust level. SSL infrastructure has this; cert chains are visible.

No blue check like twitter

Hm. Bluesky might need to clarify that an institutional check badge only verifies the org is who they claim to be, nothing more Bc to brand NYT as a “verified source” may come back to bite Bluesky in the heinie. Yes, this is NYT’s acct But ✔️ should not imply NYT’s content is necessarily accurate.

This feels a bit too pointed. You wouldn't be trying to make us lose the platform we use for sharing info and organizing, after getting us to come here when we lost Threads, Tiktok and Twitter to the right wing trash heap, right? You aren't siding with the fash. Right?!

The only trust we have in @nytimes.com a that they’ll spin everything as a positive for republicans and as a negative for democrats.

I have seen this before... As long as it only gets given out to companies to verify the accounts are their official accounts and nothing else it's fine...

Ope! I see The Athletic has one.

NYT lol

Did you mean to use that nazi rag as a trustworthy news source?

I was loving it Until now NYT? Really? Yeah, they're notable, but they're far from trustworthy.

Who trusts the NYT? No one I know.

Now do the 'dislike' button, so I can dislike this.

Will there be a published list of Trusted Verifiers? This seems important for transparency.

NYT is not so trusted tho

The NYT is shite

Me: Trusted verifiers, I guess that makes sense Also me: Oh wow you're trusting the NYT with this 👀 We can't even trust them with journalism or democracy lol

Why are you guys greenlighting a corrupt newspaper that is only printing what jeff bezos wants to see? Very bad move on your part bluesky.

NYT? Really? I’d hope you would pick a source with some integrity.

Will you treat this as a chance to diversify and globalise?

Can you guys just make another symbol? It reminds if twitter rn with all those bots!

I’m notable as fuck baby, love me

I'm looking forward to getting my account proactively verified by @bsky.app bsky.app/profile/faus...

💯

Been waiting for this! Thanks

I’m a real person. Can we sign up?

💙😶💙

OOOOoooooooooOOOOOOh!! ☑️ Please!

Define “meeting some requirements”.

People are dramatic. The only thing I would complain about is that this function is centralized in bluesky and its team, But bluesky probably already thought of a way to decentralize it, and if not, it's good this way, Bluesky is reliable, not just any random person will be able to verify someone.

Who exactly is notable and authentic?

I’m use my account to promote alcoholism, heavy drug use, wearing Crocs, and overthrowing the state. Gimme my blue check!

Didn't the announcement say the web domain has to match the bluesky name? i.e. - this is for professional accounts?

That's an odd switch from K to M.

Why did you change her follower count from thousands to millions?

How do I move forward without a gmail account? Really? I updated my domain… what else can I do?

Not very authentic when you see her follower totals v actual

How does @jay.bsky.team have 16x times the total userbase (35M) of Bluesky? Should that M be a K?

Will accounts that connect their website to their account by using the website address as the handle also proactively receive the blue check?

will the system allow me to block all verified accounts?

I had a blue check on the old place. I'm a real person.

How do we qualify for a blue check if we are not a corporation but a general public member?

It's a famous newspaper, no matter what or how they are, it needs verification. Or someone could impersonate them and oh surprise, fake news and misinformation.

I'm a computer illiterate senior. Yes I read what I could of your domain instructions which made no sense to me. I did get to the annual cost part and that's where you lost me. I don't know who I'm expected to pay but with the state of my maybe income that isn't going to happen. enjoy

Aside from manual curation is there any more to this?

"notable"? Rude! Sorry, I don't care about whether someone is notable.

😐 I'm going to feel like I'm on freaking Twitter.

That's a white check. The blue is the circle around the check. Fucking hell.

Thank you for finally doing this for me

This is superb news. The loss of twitter’s web of trust had no monetary value but was priceless.

Great, so those of us that already are afilliated with our website in our name, should get verified soon then?!?

That’s not a blue check. That’s white check.

Define authentic and notable please

why would you use a blue check, use green one or something or not a check at all. blue check just represents people paying for validation and have no real judgement

How much is it ?

Like X Facebook Instagram threads too.

🙏🙏🙏

The followers lol

What defines a notable account? Why wasn't this added as a labeler like any other (that is enabled by default)?

Why does this image say 587.1M when @jay.bsky.team has hundreds of thousands of followers rather than hundreds of millions? An odd mistake? Someone deciding to fluff the CEO's ego? Not exactly inspiring trust in a post about verification.

It sounds like they are just saying *if they recognize the account* they will initiate verification automatically but if they don't, you can just apply for it?

Would like that please 💙😃

I think if they needed to charge like a one-time $5 fee for verification *just to support the cost of doing it* that would be reasonable. There is no reason at all to charge an *ongoing fee* though.

most social media platforms use a blue check for verification. just because musk went apeshit with it on twitter doesn’t mean it isn’t a useful thing when used correctly

People are just reactionary. Once it rolls out no one will care

original twitter verification was shit too. I hated it it was a game of people who got it and therefore it biforcated users.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but sometimes people just don't think critically and act based on pure emotion. That seems to be the case here. The reasoning behind the outcry here seems to be: Twitter has blue checks and Twitter sucks, therefore, if Bluesky has blue checks as well, it will suck too.

Barf. We left twitter for BS like this. We don't need this.

???

twitter checks were for verifications before musk ruined it. other social media platforms also employ verification

He didn't even make it he just monetized it, we are so traumatized by his acts its lingers in his absents

guys...this is just to know who is a company or celeb...u know how it used to be on twitter before it was x
