Bluesky finally opened the process of a long -term verification badge process. Users can now apply to the platform to get blue ticks. However, it is still not clear which criteria will be granted according to the criteria. This uncertainty led to different comments between users about the process.
The application process is currently being carried out on a very simple Google form. Users are expected to explain the account information, the introduction of themselves and why they want to be verified. However, Bluesky has not yet clearly stated how to evaluate applications or which accounts will come to the fore. In addition to all these, the number of intensive applications may cause difficulty for small teams.
Bluesky continues to shape verification according to user views
Bluesky wants the accounts to be active, safe and remarkable. It is recommended to complete basic steps such as profile photo, biography and authentication with two -factor authentication. There are also categories for the occupational or identity of users. Journalists, politicians, academics, brand representatives or athletes can be selected from options.
However, the fulfillment of all these suggestions does not mean that the verification will be guaranteed. At the bottom of the form, the company clearly includes the phrase “providing these conditions does not mean verification”. However, this statement does not reduce the interest in the verification system. Considering more than 36 million registered users of the platform, the number of applications is expected to be quite high.
Bluesky’s step in verification can be considered a new development. To date, the platform has approached a central verification process. On the other hand, the increase in fake and imitation accounts brought about a system need in this direction. This move can be considered as a late decision to increase user security.
In addition, the company does not only undertake the burden of verification. The platform also cooperates with the third parties he calls “reliable verifiers .. These organizations can confirm individuals with their own methods and mark them with a different symbol. Thus, users can also be directed to alternative verification ways.
The verification process for institutions is carried out through this form. Especially media organizations or large brands can verify the people they represent through this system. This multi -layered structure ensures that the verification system is implemented not only in an individual but also in institutional dimension. However, this flexibility can make the standards of the process even more complex.
Despite everything, Bluesky emphasizes that the verification system has not yet become the final form. According to user feedback, the criteria will change over time. This reveals that the system is still open to development in terms of both technical and content. Therefore, it is likely that new updates regarding the verification process will often come to the agenda in the future.
