W social removes the handle feature from its web frontend. Using the AT Proto API, you can still set your own domain as a handle. A guide in four steps.

SocialWeb.Network - Your Gateway to Decentralized Social
Comprehensive resources for decentralized social web protocols including ActivityPub, AT Protocol, Nostr, and more.
The AT Proto app that I have been working on over the last ~12 days is nearing a first beta. Introducing @gifthood.community: A neighborly way to give and receive, freely, built on the AT Protocol. We will start in Portland neighborhoods soon. Let's find out if this concept works on the open web.
gifthood.community — coming soon
gifthood.communityWe’re pleased to announce that we’ll be working with @eurosky.social to help to define and develop open social web infrastructure for the AT Protocol! igalia.com/2026/03/18/Advancing-the-AT-P…

www.igalia.comagree i'm doing this (handle is my personal site) but i want to take it further - i want my site content served directly from my pds without needing a third party host not sure there's a path to get there yet.. DNS needs to understand at:// or maybe the PLC could mediate somehow?

I'm convinced that there is a huge Atmosphere-sized hole in the personal website market, and here's why that matters👇
btw, these new domain endings should be of much greater interest to the @bsky.app (atproto) community than your average internet jane/joe because of the incoming flood of expressive @handle.tld options

ICANN's gTLD application window closed last night and bigger-than-2012 (last round) stuff is already happening lfg.link applied for 316, more than anyone in 2012 (it'll cost $71 million in application fees alone!) some interesting strings in there...going to thread until I run out of steam
ATProto devs did you know you can use selfhosted.social for users to create brand new accounts on the atmosphere in your applications? Both deckbelcher.com and blento.app uses our PDS. A user's journey into the atmosphere does not always have to be started from Bluesky. It can start from your app.
The conversation in this 🧵 between @anna.germnetwork.com, @sgo.to, + @bnewbold.net has me hopping in my chair with excitement Can we finally implement the full potential of the @-ness of handles vs. sites?
bryan newbold
my response to anna's original idea is that handles are already domains, and there should be cool sites there. eg, if you put dril.bsky.social in a browser bar today, you get redirected to bsky.app/profile/dril.bsky.social instead, dril.bsky.social could be a webpage, like linktree (blento is a link app)
@mackinac.social, built by @whiteside.io, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread 👇🏼 1/🧵
+1 to this. having tld in our handles is silly and counter-intuitive I am notplants.bsky.social still simply because i dont want to be myname.com unless im doing it as a bit. a tld in your handle lowkey feels like being named after a billboard

A discussion I had with @pfrazee.com @bnewbold.net and @dholms.at at the conference that I wanted to dig as a community is a TLD for atproto handles. Lots of challenges, but I think I'm looking forward to a world where I'm @goto (syntactic sugar for goto.handle) on the web rather than @sgo.to
What if you could leave a social platform without leaving your community? @brittanyellich.com explains how the AT Protocol lets you own your identity, your data, and your social graph, opening the door to a more open, portable, and developer-friendly web. 🌐 youtu.be/_ZrChpf8FZ8
It would be great to get some transparency in here. @janlindblad.bsky.social: 1. will users be able to use the w social app with any #atproto account? 2. will users be able to verify themselves (to be able to post) with any atproto account or do you require users to move their accounts to your pds?
