One of the biggest concerns I've seen people have about attaching their account to their own domain is people using their same account name on bsky.social to impersonate them. Many have created a dummy bsky.social account to prevent this.
Describe the solution you'd like
If you sign up with Bsky.Social and add a domain later: Auto forward the previous Bsky.social account to the new one
If you sign up with a domain at the start: Add a field for a bsky.social username that will be forwarded? (Not sure about this one, but something along those lines)
Describe alternatives you've considered
As I said before, most people just make a dummy account and have a single post to notify users where their main account actually is. I've done this as well so no one can use my business name account to impersonate me.
Additional context
I imagine the intent is that by attaching your domain that would be considered the 'verified' account, and any other account would be assumed to be an impersonation or not the real account, and then the impersonation warning would pop up if that was detected/reported. The problem is that the fear of impersonation is what is preventing the people I know from ever using their domains for their BSky accounts.
I'm not sure the best way to go about this, but I think the account forwarding would help people feel that they are safe to bring in or create their own domain? But I'm also seeing this as a potential avenue for exploit/abuse of this kind of system so I'm not entirely sure the direction.
