    Just as an example, really.

    A lot of Masto servers I’ve seen have use the .social extension. I feel like it does lend itself to letting people know what to expect when seeing a handle that ends with .social. It’s maybe an easy connection to make that that’s some sort of social media entity.

    They certainly don’t have to use that type of url, but I think it’d be cool and it makes sense for what it is.

    I’ve thought that news stations should do the same, too. Like an @news@cnn.social would be cool and have built in verification simply because they could lock down its users to only approved people so you’d know that @wolf@cnn.social is definitely Wolf Blitzer. No need for checkmarks.
