In their model, organizations pay X thousands of dollars and receive additional profile customization options, a gold check, and the option for their affiliates to display their organization logo on profiles and in timelines.\nApplying my all-time favorite Virgil Abloh's 3% rule, what if Bluesky had a concept of \"verified communities\"? Just as PDS and App-Views maintain the burden of platform moderation (professionalized trust \u0026 safety stuff like CSAM) and pass on community moderation to labelers and Ozone operators, perhaps there can be both platform verification alongside community verification. And similarly from a user perspective where the technical burden and moderation\nresponsibilities can be delegated to a third-party, users can just be \"affiliates\" verified by their community instead of having to buy a domain to be verified.\nThis was a bulk of what I spoke about with Jay during our chat at the conference. She also mentioned giving users the option of which badges to display on their profile (which now reminds me of choosing your own nation in Terra Ignota). Maybe you show your Bluesky, Blacksky, and Northsky badge on your profile at once or maybe just one or two.",
