ironic how the domain handles system lends authority to an account since you can trust that whoever owns the domain owns the account - and yet the bluesky team themselves don't have one consistent domain: they use bsky.app, bsky.social, bsky.team, atproto.com... makes them way easier to impersonate!

yeah, who would ever pick a domain name that could cause them to be confused with a different user
