Reddit is joining other social media platforms in verifying certain accounts. The company said Wednesday that it’s testing a new “official” label on some accounts that have confirmed their identity.
“This label is designed to help mods and users quickly identify these organizations, and allows them to trust that these users are who they say they are,” Reddit wrote online. “Our main goal is to explore ways in which we can help increase authentic engagement between organizations and users.”
A Reddit administrator also said in a post on the site that the label shouldn’t be confused with the “promoted” label, which is used to mark paid advertisements.
