ATProto Belgium — a volunteer collective
Our mission: grow the Belgian ATmosphere.
We want Belgium to feel at home on the open, European social web. Verifying real Belgian accounts is how we begin — building a corner of the network you can actually trust. Got a checkmark from us? Here's what it means.
A volunteer collective of 9 — living & working in Belgium
What just happened
A checkmark from your fellow Belgians.
On mu.social — a European app built on the open AT Protocol — no single company hands out verification. Trusted community verifiers do. We're one of them, and we verify accounts that clearly belong to the Belgian ATmosphere. So your badge simply means a group of volunteers in Belgium looked at your account and confirmed you're genuinely one of us.
A trust signal, not an endorsement
We vouch that you're really you and really local — not for everything you post.
Always free
Verification is never paid for. It can't be bought, only earned by being genuine.
Yours to keep
The signal is written to your account's own data (your PDS), so any app on the network can read it.

What makes an account “Belgian”?
We're not gatekeepers and there's no exam. We just look for clear, honest signs that you're part of life in Belgium. Any mix of these usually does it:
In short: if a Belgian read your profile and thought “yep, one of us” — you're in the ATmosphere.
- You live in Belgium
- Your name or bio says belge · Belgian · Belgisch · Belgë — or flies the 🇧🇪 flag
- A Belgian city or workplace is in your profile — Brussel, Gent, Liège, Antwerpen, Charleroi…
- Your posts are rooted here — resharing Belgian media, or talking about something that happened in your street, your commune, your club
Get verified
Want the checkmark? Just ask.
It's free, and it's done by real people. Four steps:

The bigger picture
We're not the only verifiers.
mu.social verification is a whole network of trusted community verifiers — each vouching for the community it knows best: media groups, universities, and regional collectives like ours. If you belong to another community, there may already be a verifier for you.
