That looks like this badge verify thing:

> **[Request a verified badge on Facebook | Facebook Help Center](https://www.facebook.com/help/1288173394636262)**
>
> The blue verification badge lets people know that a Page or profile of public interest is authentic.

That has this requirement to qualify: _ **Notable** : Represent a well-known, often searched person, brand or entity. We review Pages and profiles that are featured in multiple news sources, and we don’t consider paid or promotional content as sources for review._

With discourse there is this option that you can apply for, not sure if this is useful for what you are seeking answer about:

> **[Free Discourse Communities For Creators](https://blog.discourse.org/2022/04/free-discourse-for-creators/)**
>
> We would like to help creators build their communities. If you are a creator building on the web, then you might be eligible for a free, hosted Discourse community.

### Eligibility Criteria

We know creators are not created equally, so we split the criteria or requirements to apply across the different creator groups.

1. Software creators (GitHub, GitLab): 10+ contributors
2. Video creators (YouTube, Twitch and other video platforms): 5k subscribers
3. Audio creators (Podcasters, Musicians): 1k (monthly listens/downloads)
4. Funded creators (Patreon, Substack, OpenCollective, … ): $50 monthly patronage/funding

Alongside these, other criteria are:

- Your project has a clear need for discussions (see FAQ below)
- Please understand that approval is ultimately at our discretion as we work out the details of this program.
