Hey folks, Nuked here! Ready for some tech news with a twist? Let’s talk about Bluesky’s fresh and innovative approach to account verification that might change how we see our favorite platforms.
Guess what? Bluesky is gearing up to roll out a new blue check verification system, and it’s nothing like what Twitter (now X) did. The latest tweaks, spotted in their public GitHub, hint at a system where multiple organizations get the power to verify users. That means some organizations might be trusted to issue checks directly.
According to the changes, verified accounts could display a new icon—a blue circle with a white checkmark—making verification more transparent. Trusted organizations, like major news outlets such as The New York Times, might have the ability to verify their users, visible through special icons on profiles.
This new setup hints at a decentralized vibe, spreading verification authority rather than centralizing it. Bluesky might also label organizations as ‘trusted verifiers,’ giving them the reins to grant blue checks, which could make verification more flexible and broader than ever before. An official announcement could come as soon as next Monday, promising some exciting updates.
Unlike X, which recently switched to a paid verification model, Bluesky seems to be pushing for a more community-oriented approach. They’ve been experimenting with self-verification via official website links, but now it looks like they’ll go further, involving multiple organizations for a more trustworthy system.
And, for the design lovers among us, verified users will have a white checkmark inside a blue circle, while trusted verifiers will feature a scalloped version—adding a fresh look and feel to the verification badge.
Overall, Bluesky’s approach seems to aim for a more democratic and nuanced verification process, moving away from the old pay-to-verify model. Keep an eye out as the story develops—this could be big for how we authenticate identities online!
