There has been another new turn in the world of social media. Bluesky, the platform that came to compete with X (formerly Twitter), has finally launched its blue check verification feature. Now the question arises, is this a free version of X's blue subscription? Let's know about it in detail.

What does blue check mean?

The blue tick on Bluesky will prove that the account is real. That is, if you are on the page of a company, public figure or an organization and a blue check is visible there, then understand that it is official.

Nowadays, creating a fake account on social media has become as easy as a snap of a finger. Anyone can create a profile by putting a photo of a celebrity or by taking the name of a big company. In such a situation, it becomes difficult for common users to differentiate between real and fake. This blue tick of Bluesky will make that difference easy.

How to get a blue tick on Bluesky?

At present, Bluesky has made it clear that it is not verifying new accounts right now. But in the coming time, this feature will be started for all users.

For now, the company is working with select agencies and organizations. These organizations can verify the accounts of their employees. For example, if a media house gets its PR team members verified, then the blue check will start appearing on their profiles.

No need to pay money like X

Currently, to get a blue check on X (earlier Twitter), one has to take a monthly or annual subscription. But in Bluesky's new system, no charge will be taken. That is, verification will be free, which is a relief for the users.

Fake news will be stopped.

Bluesky also said that their moderation team will check every verification. It will be checked whether the account is real or not, whether the name is correct or not and whether the information given is authentic or not.

With this system, fake news, wrong information and scam profiles will be controlled to a great extent. Because now no one will be able to easily steal someone's name and identity by creating a fake profile. Today, when it is becoming difficult to trust social media, this step by Bluesky can be called the right step towards a transparent and trustworthy digital space.
