Change my handle

If you want to switch between handle options on the Blacksky server (blacksky.app, myatproto.social, cryptoanarchy.network, latinsky.app or afrolatinsky.app):

1. Visit blacksky.community

2. Log in to your account

3. Navigate to Settings

4. Select Account

5. Click on Handle

6. Change your handle to any of the available options

Which handle should I select?

blacksky.app - For Blacksky Community Members Only

blacksky.app is exclusively for members of the Blacksky community. This PDS has specific membership requirements and is reserved for Black folks building communal infrastructure.

⚠️ Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

Alternative domains for Everyone

Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other PDSs that are open to anyone:

• myatproto.social - Open to all

• cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

💡 Note: whether your handle is username.myatproto.social or username.cryptoanarchy.network you must still enter "https://blacksky.app" as your hosting provider when logging into apps that request a "Hosting Provider" such as the Bluesky mobile apps.

Changing to a domain that you own

If you’d like to switch handles to a domain that you own, you can:

1. Follow steps 1-4 above

2. Click “I have my own domain” and follow the instructions on that screen.

3. This may require that you coordinate with your domain provider host (e.g. Squarespace, GoDaddy, etc) to link your account using the DNS (Domain Name System) information provided.
