My point is, she doesn't want to be @taylorswift@taylorswift.com
That's so much extra offputting text. She just wants to be @taylorswift
That's short, it's concise, it's easy to remember. It's branding.
Just try to imagine a newscastor telling some story, and saying at the end:
Now imagine that, compared to this:
You can make it so the official handle in operation behind the scenes is @taylorswift@taylorswift.com
That's not the issue. The issue is, she would want to control her own name. Meaning I couldn't make @taylorswift@otherdomain.ext
Yes, it's easy to spot that being fake TO YOU. You have to remember that 60% of America is literally illiterate. Domains are NOT hard to register, but they are hard to register every single variation of a false domain.
Now I can be @taylorswift@faylorswift.com
And how many people might fall for that? And sure, you don't eliminate the problem by making handles exclusive, but it makes it harder to fake, and easier to go after those attempting identity theft.
My point is that she can be @taylorswift.com not @taylorswift@taylorswift.com. Also, exaggerating the number of illiterate people in the USA doesn't help your argument. You can already be @FaylorSwift on twitter so I'm still not seeing how this is any more secure than using her actual domain that her fans may be familiar with.
You can use your domain as your handle Bluesky, I've never seen it done on ActivityPub. Is it possible?
