Why does this not surprise me… :)

In case you’re unaware, a quick note that you can verify an org/personal domain as a username, e.g. @ukdayone.org. it may make it easier for people to identify the account but you do lose the old username if you change it to a domain.

And if it isn’t the post recommendations, it’s the primarily combative and/or hateful replies to posts in my feed. In contrast, this feels like an escape, and a smaller community seems worth it to avoid an unpleasant experience.

Followed! Quick note that you can also verify your domain name as a username which should make it easier for people to identify you. :)
