Thank you

As long as they’re on it - we can be patient - I knew I didn’t have 15 celebs in my DMs so we are on it too 🤣

paspuggie48.bsky.social•87 days ago

You mean Mariah Carey who followed me isn't real?
Must admit, I thought I was being smart when I blocked Michael Jackson's request, I mean he knows I am a Howard Jones fan 😜

christinalattimer.bsky.social•87 days ago

Haha - shame on you - nothing against Howard Jones but blocking Michael Jackson? Oh hang on…..! 🤔

paspuggie48.bsky.social•87 days ago

Howard personally knows I've been a fan for 40 years 👍

christinalattimer.bsky.social•87 days ago

A mega fan?

drewstephenson.bsky.social•87 days ago

Probably not a bad idea, I don't think the real Emilia Clarke is actually following me...

drewstephenson.bsky.social•84 days ago

And now apparently Charlize Theron is following me too.
I must be very special...

I've had a few dodgy DMs and encountered a lot of fake profiles, my favourite being Keannu Reeves. Wow, how I wish that was real.

Well, Harrison Ford needs a once over for sure.

paulatreidesno7.bsky.social•88 days ago

Oh no! I'm in trouble. I'm not really related to house Atreides.

Excellent news

I won't verify just yet though

Bluesky keeps impressing me! And only around 20 employees for this rapidly developing platform 🙌

geess.bsky.social•87 days ago

Freeing up the original handle after verification seems dumb and just reopens the window for impersonation.

billieo2.bsky.social•88 days ago

Good.

margaretannable.bsky.social•87 days ago

Good, I didn't really think that Ed Sheeran is following me!

glynnist.bsky.social•87 days ago

Nor I Johnny Depp! 🤣

That’s pretty good, if you do have your own website then it’s pretty easy to add your own domain which works doubly well

Today I spoke with two Elon Musks and a Tom Jones on Bluesky. Both Elons were nice, and I was pleasantly surprised.

"In its new announcement, the platform say's it's working with organizations and high-profile individuals to set up their verified handles."

It should be working with EVERYONE. The only way to secure the site is through genuine verification.
