Bluesky brings back the OG Blue Check 🔵✔️

Bluesky, a Twitter-style app led by CEO Jay Graber, is now rolling out official blue check verification for real ones.

🚨 Breaking News:
Bluesky’s adding blue checkmarks — both from the app itself and “trusted” big orgs like WIRED and NY Times.

⚡Wire Simplified:

• Bluesky users can finally get a legit blue check (not just flex a domain name).

• Celebs, journalists, and gov officials are first in line for verification.

• Trusted media houses like WIRED can also verify users now.

• The blue check vibe = safer platform, less impersonation drama.

• Unlike X (Twitter), verification isn’t just "pay and pray."

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Bluesky is bringing blue checks back to basics—actually verifying people, not just selling stickers. Twitter 2015 nostalgia, but make it Gen Z.
