@arstechnica.com
The handle is the domain arstechnica.com. On Bluesky a domain handle proves the owner controls that website — so this is verifiably the real arstechnica.com account, not an impersonator.

An early adopter from the invite-only beta (before the Feb 2024 public launch) — an original, established account.
