just doing a little journalism
to check in with folks offline and make sure they are who they say. In turn, hundreds of folks here have now communicated with me so I'm verified too.
You were asking about this earlier, right?
To see the Verified badges on profiles and on your feed you need to subscribe to this labeller ---> https://bsky.app/profile/verified.quest
There are Press List 🌐 and Celebrity 😎 badges.
You have to select the "show badges" option for each type of Official Verification that you want to see displayed.
This means two little
logos per badge but it's how you know it's coming from our labeller and not just another random use of the emoji.
There are already accts doing this
I hate clicking on something then realizing it was meant to suck people in.
If we have feeds w/ trusted sources, it saves a lot of wasted time and frustration
They are verified by you, the “official” part seems redundant?
And as for Bluesky, the official way to verify oneself there is: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
So a journalist would verify themselves by setting their handle to eg: https://steven.bsky.nytimes.com
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
It's a win/win. Bluesky verification and advertising/marketing/branding.

Badges? We need those stinking badges! IFKYK
I need one that says I am nearly completely self taught, have no accredited education, and am not an expert in anything but being poor.
(Jk, but its fact)
this is badges for common folk like me
@support.bsky.team
Funny, though, my first thought was "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!" 😄
