Bard spotting on Bluesky 11 November 2024

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Originally, Blue Checks served a very important purpose - trustability. They prevented impersonation & disinformation.

BlueSky solves that with Domain Names.

If you are an expert, a science communicator, a journ*list, a public figure - consider making your domain name your BlueSky username.

If you own a domain name, you can use that as your handle on Bluesky. Here's how to do it:

How to set your domain as your handle - Bluesky

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

If you already have a domain, setting your username to that domain name (or a subdomain) is easy.

If you don't have one yet, and just need a Top Level Domain for a username, BlueSky partners with NameCheap to make that easy.
