Jamie KyleAre <name>.bsky.social handles reserved forever even if users change them to a new domain? If not, are links represented in a way that they will never point to a newer registered account?

Tom ShermanNah pretty sure they can be re-registered. @s in posts are preserved but links to profiles with handles can point to a different account. I'd recommend copying the link with the DID for when you want a link that lasts a long time
1 9Samuelyeah correct. would be nice if you could reserve your bsky.social handle, but it’s not possible atm without creating a placeholder account

Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한 謝雪矢AFAIK, it depends on the platform/service. For example, the brid.gy platform appears to be redirecting the old name.bsky.social handle to the new one. However, on the bsky.app itself, the old is immediately made available.
1Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한 謝雪矢Then again, as more PDS (and domain handle services) become available, reserving will matter less.
Say, others can grab name.example.xyz name.example.net. Currently, of course, bsky.social is the most popular one, so I guess that's the logical choice to reserve a handle.
John Spurlockno, you have to self-squat on them with another account
