So regarding the Bluesky check marks, they're basically the equivalent of TLS certificate authorities, and everyone agrees, yes?

But I see some "well someone could trust a different set of CAs so maybe it's kinda decentralized?"

Do you know anyone who installs custom certificate authorities in their browser?

Me neither.
