Community Verifying / Labeling

This has come up again, so pulling together threads that have covered this before.

Running a Community Verifier

We are unblocked from running a verifier other than having 2-3 people be leads and commit to doing it. Being allow listed by Bluesky / Mu / Blacksky / Oso (and so on) is a future step.

If it were me, I’d suggest some written down rules as a first step. And some thinking about what verified means in this context.

This MIGHT tie into work around Atmosphere app allow listing. @esb.lol said using the community app lexicon might be a thing they look at but I haven’t seen anything else.

Running a community labeler

Labelers in my opinion should be self-serve for this use case.

Could create a feed. Would need some light moderation to remove people’s labels in the case of eg spamming a feed. Not sure what other use cases a label would unlock.


For both, we have modest server resources that could be used.

IMO we are close enough that we can do an open social group once those are live
