Bluesky, a social media platform, is introducing a system of verification that relies on a "trust hierarchy", where established entities like the New York Times can verify their own journalists. This structured approach aims to enhance scalability for user verification. The moderation team will oversee the authenticity of these verifications. However, there are concerns regarding how this aligns with Bluesky's intent to challenge traditional social media power dynamics. Some users appreciate the move towards a more official verification process, while others raise questions about who qualifies as 'important' and whether users should have the power to select their trusted verifiers. The discussion reflects ongoing challenges in balancing quality source identification and user inclusivity in verification methodologies.
