End users really need to just be more skeptical. Big names need to register their own domain and point people to those places.

"X need to just..." is a surefire way to never change anything. People will never just. They won't.

Gotta be careful with those variable labels…

Early on with twitter, I always wondered how people knew that a celebrity account was real or not. I was bothered by how trusting people were in, what was essentially the honor system. At least with bsky and mastodon, you can register a domain or use your already existing domain as part of your username.
