independent organizations can verify accounts directly. Bluesky will review these verifications as well to ensure authenticity.
But isn’t it still one central entity approving?

I mean this is just Twitter’s old verification system, but now accounts have a lit of verifiers, so it’s not one centralized entity approving, and there’s accountability. I don’t see this as enshittified.

It’s not ideal, and can be abused by the central service later by price increases or probably other things.
But it’s the best a corporate and evil platform can do to legitimize users.
