Description
My auto-generated BlueSky handle is an unwieldy "index.blog.rxbrad.com.ap.brid.gy". Bridgy Fed offers the capability to update this to "blog.rxbrad.com" using DNS TXT records. However, this is currently not possible, because Ghost Notes do not allow DMs which are required to trigger the update.
There are two ways Ghost blogs could have custom BlueSky handles:
- Allow DM Notes
- By leveraging the Bridgy Fed API: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#bluesky-handle-api
Please make one of these options available to Ghost users. (Obviously, my preference would be Option 2 as part of the Ghost Admin UI.)

Done means Ghost users can configure a custom Bluesky handle through a supported flow and the handle update can be verified.
