paying for the ability to block stalkers is so comically fucking stupid it’s funny again
also hey if you don‘t have your own domain for a handle yet, and want to make sure this place doesn‘t croak, you can uh, SOMEWHAT contribute to that by buying a domain directly through them!
We’re excited to share our first paid service! We’re partnering with Namecheap to provide easy custom domain management. With this, you can easily set a custom domain as your Bluesky handle and much more. Simply navigate to https://account.bsky.app to get started.
We’re excited to announce a new feature that allows users to seamlessly purchase and manage domains directly through Bluesky.
People keep asking how to get a handle with a different ending. You just need to own the domain and you can change your handle to it :) Just click the "I have my own domain" in the handle change option in Settings and follow the instructions
BY THE WAY, THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you want everyone showing up on your feeds, you gotta go into Settings > Basic > Languages and clear the Content Languages field. Essential.
Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
