Changes spotted in Bluesky's codebase indicate the app may soon get a blue check verification system, similar to the look of Twitter's.

I thought that was the point of the domain verification for your handle? That way you can be verified as you have the same handle as your official website or business.

The example case they give is more that the New York Times account can verify that a given, other, account actually is the account for one of their journalists.

To do that with domains, NYT would need to create a subdomain of theirs and let the journalist use it. At that point, might as well let the journalist use their own domain as well as have the NYT account verify the journalist's account.

Coming from a technical side, I don't think that would be difficult. It's not like you would have to hand control of the subdomain over to them, DNS verification codes can just be given to those who's control the domain, they are public information. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the info.
