💥🚨 BE CAREFUL 🚨💥
Since we're unfortunately getting an influx of fake/malicious accounts pouring into this site now....
I think it might be important to give a few things to look out for and keep in mind when spotting FAKE accounts since things on Bluesky are **SLIGHTLY** different than on Twitter

Bluesky allows you to change your handle to a new domain at any given time. We're not just playing around with usernames here, people can now also purchase fake domain names to further attempt to impersonate brands. Pay attention to these handles even more now than ever!!
The positioning of follow and follower counts have been swapped! On Twitter, followers were on the right and following was on the left, now it's the other way around!
To see if an account is fake look to the LEFT number now, a popular brand will usually have a larger FOLLOWER count
Aside from general security things..Throne copy and pasted their bio from twitter. This includes any links. Twitter auto shortens links using a https://t.co format.
If you see a https://t.co link it WON'T link to twitter! It can link to anywhere!
This fake Throne account caught onto that vulnerability
