Looks like we have some competition from @wsocial.eu. Nice to see other attempts at a social network with real verified humans.

More and more social media is turning to human verification arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

Reddit will require "fishy" accounts to verify they are run by a human

AI-generated content is still acceptable for now.

Reminder that we have a feed of all the human verified accounts on Bluesky.

We have just created the Only Human feed™! This is a feed of Verified Humans: accounts which we have verified as belonging to real people. Truly the only feed that is free of bots and alt accounts. bsky.app/profile/only...

I've written up my thoughts on the biggest challenges facing social media and how I think it needs to evolve. What it comes down to is that we need more humans and less bots. 👇

The future of social media is human

We cannot continue participating in social media platforms which do nothing to stop us being tricked by GenAI and the powerful people/governments that control them.

Hey #ATProto fans, there is a lot of excitement about new social networks integrating humanity verification, but did you know that we have already implemented this using ATProto’s labels/verifications? Check us out: onlyhumanhub.com

Exciting to see other platforms being built with human verification in mind. We have already shipped a privacy-first human verifier and integrated it into Bluesky. Join us! cybernews.com/tech/europe-...

Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W

European organizations may soon launch their own social media platform, W, requiring user identification and photo verification to prevent bots.

cybernews.com

This is very close to what I built @onlyhumanhub.com. Except no photo verification needed and it runs on Bluesky and offers a labeler.

The last thing anyone needs is a new "platform" for microblogging. The whole point is we should be moving beyond silo'd platforms into an open social world. So my response to the launch of "W" as a competing platform to "X" is simply: "but Y, tho?" cybernews.com/tech/europe-...

We've launched a refreshed front page and some fixes to our verification process. If you ran into problems before, now would be the time to give it another try! 👉 onlyhumanhub.com

How many bots do you think are among the followers of this account? Just on this first page, we'd say it's 13/17 or 76%. Obviously there is no way to prove this. But we do have a way to help you prove that you are definitely a human. 👉 onlyhumanhub.com

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

No app should ever store raw government IDs without any encryption. Even though we require passports for verification, we don't and never will store any pictures of your passports or any data from your passport in plain text. We even go a step further and hash your data, so it's irreversible.

New, by me and @amanda.omg.lol: TeaForHer, an app designed for men to share photos and information about women they dated, has exposed users' personal information & government IDs. TeaForHer launched in response to the Tea app, which may be best known for its own massive data breach last week.

You don’t have to look far these days to see bots on Bluesky, and these ones are obvious. What about the ones which aren’t? The best way through this is to verify your humanity and join our community of humans. 👉 onlyhumanhub.com

I got my new passport delivered to me Yesterday. First thing I did with it online was to do the below. See @onlyhumanhub.com by @dom96.picheta.me Needed the passport for EU Age Restrictions Guidelines coming into force from ‬21st July. onlyhumanhub.com/profile/cork...

We're building the opposite of what Meta is. Join us for human only connections. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Meta hypes AI friends as social media’s future, but users want real connections

Two visions for social media’s future pit real connections against AI friends.

The only way you can stop this from happening is to verify humanity. Our goal is to make this possible, get verified and join us now!

NEW: Researchers secretly ran a massive, unauthorized AI persuasion experiment on Reddit users in a large debate subreddit. The bots' answers mined the original posters' identity and post history to generate its answers & created identities such as "rape survivor" www.404media.co/researchers-...

@mackuba.eu has created a wonderful tool that lets you see who has verified who, so if you ever want a list of the accounts we've verified you can access that here: blue.mackuba.eu/directory/ve...

We have just created verification records for each of our verified users. You won't get a blue check yet, but all the more reason to help us convince @bsky.app to adopt us as a trusted verifier so that you do! www.atproto-browser.dev/at/did%3Aplc...

Bluesky@bsky.app · last yr.

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

We're hopeful that we can become a Trusted Verifier. We are already verifying the humanity of users and applying "Verified Human" labels to Bluesky accounts that pass our checks. We can offer additional checks for users that do not require anonymity. Blue checks would be appropriate for them.

There seems to be quite a few of you that have registered accounts on Only Human Hub, but have yet to verify them. I'd love to learn more about the reasoning if anyone is willing to share!

Want a lovely "Verified Human" label on your profile? Get verified via onlyhumanhub.com/verify.

How can you tell if someone online is a human? What about whether your feed is full of sock puppet accounts? Often times you can't! I have built a solution: @onlyhumanhub.com. It is an app that allows you to verify your humanity and link your human profile with your Bluesky account.
