Using a domain for your handle means it entirely replaces the original bsky handle you signed up with.

I could go from being mentaledge.bsky.social to mentaledge.com, for example. (And they don’t need to be the same “username” so to speak, I could have registered therealmental.bsky.social, but then become mentaledge.com, provided I own the domain.)

The main difference is that the orignal handle is a subdomain of bsky, while you can be the root domain if you use your own.

Before, you’d lose your original handle, meaning someone else could grab it once you did this, and then pretend to be you. Now they can’t.

I don’t share your view.

Company doing good thing without simultaneously promising it won’t do bad thing doesnt automatically mean BAD THING WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPER DUPER CERTAINLY HAPPEN NEXT.

The opposite, actually.

When corpos are specific about bad thing definitely not being planned, that’s when it is DEFINITELY the next step.

Ok. But again, this isn’t that.

No part of this particular change, is even step one of what you’re talking about.

This is literally only stopping new users from registering accounts under handles someone used before, but switched away from.

It’s straight up a "correct " solution.

I don’t think the name part of the bsky handle comes from the domain you use.

You just no longer lose the handle you picked when you registered, when you switch to using your own domain as your handle.

Before, once you switched, someone else could grab that original handle you registered with and pretend to be you.

So they shouldn’t address actual concerns?

This change is tiny. Bluesky currently allows people who own domains to use those domains for their handle. (Anyone can buy domains, not just companies, I own two) Before, doing so would “release” the default name.bsky.social handle, allowing someone else to use it.

This literally doesn’t take away any handles from anyone, except people who grabbed handles that were “released” by their original owners. It DOES NOT allow someone who shows up with a new spechul domain to take away the handle of a user that already exists.

Maybe, but this isn’t about that.

You can’t really deApple iOS or macOS, or deMicrosoft Windows.

Mill isn’t a currency. It’s a fraction of a currency, like a cent. Both dollar and euros have cents, for example, the word just refers to 1/100 of the given unit of value. Mill is 1/1000, though no modern currency uses that for any physical coins (afaik).

The bag is apparently only 1 pound, but that’s clearly a lot more coins than just a hundred one cent coins.

Is that a sack of mill coinage?

Flashbacks to the mermaid episode of the TV series.

Better in democracies.

Under democracy, you can buy legislators.

Under dictatorship, you can still kinda do that… But also the state might just take your stuff and have you shot if they feel like it.

That can happen under democracy, too, but elected legislators, generally don’t go up against the economic elite, because they’re often one and the same, but also because it pays better not to.
