BLUESKY URL
One good thing that Bluesky tried to do is — try to give you control of your identity.
They chose to do it using Internet domains.
So, rather than be ＠pfrazee․bsky․social , you can be ＠pfrazee․com
(I do think Internet domains have problems (as they can be taken away from you), but — it is an improvement.)
It makes it much more difficult to censor you, to unperson you, and to remove you from the social-network if you control your own identity.

L'immagine mostra un uomo con un aspetto intenso e diretto. Ha la testa rasata e un piccolo barbuto, con un'aria seria e determinata. Indossa un orecchino circolare nell'orecchio destro e un anello a spirale nell'orecchio sinistro. Un collare metallico con un anello è visibile intorno al collo, aggiungendo un tocco di stile edoardiano. La pelle è chiara e il contrasto tra la pelle e il nero dello sfondo mette in risalto i lineamenti del viso. L'immagine è scattata in un'atmosfera oscura, con una luce che illumina il viso dell'uomo, creando un effetto drammatico.

We Traveled to Save Ireland’s Wild Bees — Here’s What Happened
Follow our journey with the Irish Bee Conservation Project and learn what you can do to protect pollinators near you.
Bees & other pollinators are crucial for our own survival. Yet most of the attention goes to the Honey bees, because they produce honey and most of the other pollinators are neglected. Like wild solitary bees for example, which are much better pollinators than a honey bees.
All around the world there is huge problem of habitat destruction for all insects and animals, our fields are full of chemicals and pesticides, mono-culture is everywhere and there are less and less patches of wild nature with rich biodiversity.

One challenge with Bluesky URLs is that —
URLs to your post do NOT look like this:
https;//pfrazee․com/post/3lp37e53chs2e
But, in practice, instead look like this:
https;//bsky․app/profile/pfrazee․com/post/3lp37e53chs2e
If someone wanted to censor you, to unperson you, and to remove you from the social-network — they could do so by means of bsky․app.
And, could effectively remove any and all your posts by just "removing" them from bsky․app
