To receive a verification badge from Bluesky, your account must be active and secure, authentic, and notable. The form includes more details on our verification criteria. Please ensure your account meets the listed criteria before you submit your request.
It is
your account must be active and secure, authentic, and notable. (I don't really understand what this mean but I am the least tech person in the universe) I would like to be verified not for fame but since I write interviews and host my show so people know I'm "genuine"
as i've understood it over the years and from observation: active: you're actually using it to post secure: 2fa enabled authentic: it's really *you* using it notable: you're working in a field in a professional capacity, it doesn't have to be a politician or celebrity
so I am 2 out of 4 😁 thank you so much for explaining 🌷
Why do we have to use a Google Form that forces us to have a Google account? What if I want to submit with my own domain's email address?
Please use an alternative to google forms such as framaforms.org from @framasoft.org
They don’t give insurance to reckless reply guys, sorry.
So no check for those of us that are exceptionally insignificant?
Self verify or get a trusted verifyer to check you
I gotchu bro ☑️
Thanks to create your form on a more open system 😇 bsky.app/profile/jf.p...
Honestly. I don't have a google account, and don't plan on getting one. I'll just stay rogue
Do I get anything for being a notable idiot?
'active & secure, authentic & notable' what white woman Tipper Gore PMRC lawyer came up w that?
Is this yours? I'm getting these in DM, but one person said she didn't send it. Нi thеrе 👋 Nо саtсh, nо соѕt — јuѕt ѕоmеthing сооl fоr уоu 💌 Frоm Вluе Ѕку, with lоvе 💙 Gеt уоur bаdgе nоw: gotothebadge.pro/verify
How does anyone "secure," their account? I do everything in MY power to secure it, but is BlueSky?
“Your handle and display name should clearly align with your real identity or business” Screw those of us with pen names, right?
Maybe that falls under business? 🤷🏼♀️
Kind of hard for sole traders in the uk. We don’t have to register self employed until we earn over £1k and even then the “business name” is something like “Real name trading as other name”
This is a real issue. I don’t feel that I can safely post under my real name and keep my job, at least in our current political situation.
Within what time frame will an answer come, if it is positive?
📌
You can’t see the form without logging in with a Google account. Shame.
sorry it's not a microsoft 365 account Barold
You can make google forms anonymous Jerold
sounds like spam city to me
The price you pay
Remember, you can self-verify on Bluesky by setting your domain as your username. Even if you're applying for a visual verification badge, we recommend linking your web presence to your username to make it easier for your followers to find you.
I'm sorry Bluesky but I am NOT going to verify my being adult by any of the methods you are asking, face scan, debit card or ID. Identity theft. I'm now paranoid. So it seems I'm going to have to leave. Sad. I'm over 80 and have enough stress with phishing from the Internet Archive hack in 2024.
Is there no translate function?
Yes there is a translation function.
It doesn't appear to me anymore.
Too fuuzzely compromised to follow setting domain to handle, erc. Just want to get certified as not a bot or scammer. How??
I just submitted my application i hope I get my Blue check mark soon
the 🌎 you y'all've made is tedious & horrendous & it's a lot of work to use this site.
Tô aqui esperando minha vez!
What your domain in British
@giantbomb.bsky.social can be verified if you link to the GB website.
📌
Explain why you are asking for my PASSWORD. If this is legitimate, you have it already.
What if you don’t have a web presence?
amazing. we’re rooting for you guys!
Same. Just waiting on a response Dx
Keep refreshing, guys, they'll get you eventually! @bsky.app - I'll vouch for NeoRSD.
mundus cum caesaribus... So sad to see BS turning into very uncool. Classist account system, "notable" accs bullshit (feat. google bullshit) Fediverse is getting more and more interesting
This is the way
📌
I don’t have a Google Account and nor do I want one for the same reasons I went to BSky and deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts… So is there a way I can verify via another process (I don’t have a web site nor do I need one).
I don't feel the need to 'verify' myself. I am who I am. The people I have in my acct are REAL. I'm not that into you to ooh have a check mark, feel important, etc etcbs. I just want to speak. That is all.
And I recommend you start thinking beyond getting people to pass even more data to Google. There are alternatives to Google Forms out there.
But the intention is precisely that: sharing data between partner companies.
Bluesky’s intention here is to obtain data. If Bluesky Social PBC is unable to do so in this instance without using an external service, there are alternatives to using Google.
Not going to change my profile, photo, or bio, so?
Nothing but clickbait, a phishing scam & inconvenient waste of time. DM's get hacked, thanks, no thanks.
How long does the process take? I applied for my company and I over a week ago haven’t heard anything back. Bluesky is the only platform we’re not verified on.
Verify @tobyfox.undertale.com you cowards

@alt-text.bsky.social
Black man behind a lectern, holding up what looks like a sheriff's badge.
Thankee kindly, Archangel.
It would actually be Herschel Walker holding up his toy sheriff's badge. has a different meaning.🤷
Well, I'm kinda face-blind, so if the alt text had been present to identify what was going on…
Aha. Hehe. Very funny. Thank you.
Bluesky already stated that they are only verifying active, authentic "notable" accounts. They give no guidance on what "notable" means. I'm trying a different way. I'm trying to get Canadians verified on Bluesky by using .ca domains. More information in a thread here: bsky.app/profile/tauh...
Thank you for re posting my comment. What's your thoughts on the rest of the thread? I'd like more Canadians to get .ca domains and get CIRA membership to get verified. See: bsky.app/profile/tauh...
😒 ... Totally agree — getting more #Canadians on #.ca and into @cira.ca feels like a strong move for digital sovereignty and trust. Brb
Busy bee 🐝 rn — I’ll buzz back later!
The question is: Within what time frame will an answer come, if it is positive?
I am new to Blue sky. I wish to follow all criteria to become an authentic and notable member
Also, in ER recently, blood pressure spike - 260 over 194 (close to death). And, I have PTSD (violent crime victims). Me getting harassed constantly? It's literally a medical threat. Not ok. I have been having problems with online trolls for 25 years. No one ever stops it. Ever.
Constant porn solicitations, constant fake Go Fund Me solicitations. All the trolls tricks. I would guess that out of every 5 interactions, 3 or 4 are some kind of scam or abuse. It’s annoying and exhausting.. And, it seems, everyone else experiences the same.
