Using BlueSky for a few days, I must say I like the way they handle the handle of users a lot. Just by looking at it you can see, many informations about what the users wants to show 🧵

For example: - By looking at the TLD you can easily detect Developers (.dev) or Streamers (.live) - Some groups may use a domain to show that they belong together (swifties.social)

swifties.socialswifties.social - get your community handle for Blueskyget your own swifties.social handle

All this is enabled by the AtProtocol (atproto.com). For me it seems like the perfecy way to implementing user-handles. Many more services should look into it how to implement it.

When I created account on github, I needed a while to find a nice handle for my account. While more and more users sign up, it will get worse. If Github would allow domains as a handle there would have been more options for me. Even Organizations could give out these handles to employees
