someone should just buy bsky.nyc and sell subdomains for people that have Real IDs with a NYC address, then my handle could be @jazzyjackson.bsky.nyc and anyone who knows about the system then could trust I'm using my government name and that I'm not a russian bot.

But yeah I was disappointed with the lack of adoption there. The CEO of the onion is a prolific poster and has to deal with scambots but can't be bothered to use onion.com in his handle

But I don't want random bluesky users to know my government name.

Tying legal name to social media exacerbate toxicity too. People are more likely to double down on mistakes when their reputation is (perceived to be) at stake, and published legal identities are prone to abuses.

Not sure you're the target audience for this kind of verification. I see it being more for people with a public persona

A parallel might be not necessarily a Public persona, but still identity verified
