I think the domain validated handles on Bluesky are a big deal. They help reduce impersonation and let you build a reputation around an identity that isn't controlled by the platform. No one can squat on your handle and, even though you don't technically own a domain, you get a lot more protections with a domain name than you do with a platform based handle. It's much harder to revoke a domain than it is for someone to kick you off their platform.
