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):
Visit blacksky.community
Log in to your account
Navigate to Settings
Select Account
Click on Handle
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:
Follow steps 1-4 above
Click “I have my own domain” and follow the instructions on that screen.
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.
