8. On BlueSky, I use the same name as I use on DU

Registering on BlueSky with you DU name would serve 2 purposes, in my opinion:
1) Prevents someone else from registering your name and impersonating you, giving you a cyber black eye, so to speak
2) If most of us use our DU names on other platforms, are are guarded about how much personal info we post, as opposed to what people due on FB, we might be able to 'find' one another there. We can create lists there, follow, create safe ways to stay in touch. It would take some time to hunt other DUers down, but many people create lists of suggested BlueSky accounts to follow. There is no reason I can see that would prevent us from doing that in order to 'stay in touch' and continue our work of sharing important news finds and discussions.

Just a suggestion from attilatheblond here, there, and everywhere
