PSA: Domain handles and privacy With "The Great Migration" and adopting domains as handles. Anyone concerned about keeping personal details private, from their online profile, may want to do a WHOIS Lookup on their domain to see what contact details are publicly available.

Can always claim the old handle with a description pointing to your official domain. Likely people will quickly get used to the domain handles being more trustworthy. Still would prefer if bsky didn't free up a handle when switching to domain though.
