Per https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/main/packages/pds/src/handle/reserved.ts, I cannot have a handle like @blog.mydomain.tld. This seems like a bit much? I can certainly understand why these reservations exist, but I think that some of them should be relaxed for non-bsky.social domains. 'bot' is another weird one to block out; seems like an obvious way to identify automated posting bots?

That list is intended for folks doing open-registration services, where users can pick their own handle. We should probably make it optional/configurable for folks who are simply self-hosting or have a very small group/cohort of accounts.

In the meanwhile, you might be able to set any handle you want using a "custom domain handle", even if using the same domain suffix. You would chose any random handle to start, then change handle to a custom domain handle.
