We’re introducing a new layer of verification — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. Additionally, independent organizations can verify accounts directly through our Trusted Verifiers feature.
Good point about that. However still someone has to actually purchase and own the thing and set up the verification all of which is independent from bluesky so it’s a start I suppose.
I don’t understand why they don’t just use the domain verification which is far more authoritative
They do.
Probably should give it a clearer visual cue now that they do blue ticks, but it’s there.
They do. That said, now that it’s really easy to mask whois data, I would argue that’s a less than perfect solution.
