What does trustworthy identity look like in a decentralized world? 👀 Instead of leaning into paywalls or clout, Bluesky’s new verification system layers credibility with community, and it’s refreshingly thoughtful! 🫶✨ Here’s how it works: → Blue check badges are granted to active, authentic, and notable accounts; either directly by Bluesky or through trusted verifiers like The New York Times and Wired. → Self-verification lets you claim your own domain as your handle; something 270K+ users have already done. No badge, but a solid signal of authenticity in a decentralized space. And yes, you can do both! Some of us at Buffer have verified using our buffer.com domain, while others are exploring the blue check route. ✨ If you’re building presence on Bluesky (or just curious what digital trust looks like without the chaos), our latest guide breaks it all down! ⬇️ 🔗 Link in bio 💙 #decentralizedsocialmedia #bluesky #blueskysocial
