Bluesky, a social media platform rivaling X (formerly Twitter), has intensified its competition by implementing stricter verification and impersonation policies. This initiative is aimed at curbing fake accounts and boosting user trust. The platform has introduced a verification system requiring users to link their profiles with authentic identifiers like domain names.
This approach ensures profiles represent genuine identities or organizations, setting a higher standard compared to competitors.
Bluesky’s policy also imposes stricter consequences for impersonation, including account suspensions and removal of misleading content. These measures are part of the platform’s broader strategy to distinguish itself through a user-friendly, trust-based environment, especially as concerns about online misinformation continue to rise
