When designing your RSS feeds, the top level title should be the title of the user’s account. So if Bluesky had a feed for each user, the channel-level
element of the feed would be</p>
<ul>
<li><code><title>Bluesky: Mark Cuban</title></code></li>
</ul>
<p>Why? Well because readers need context. And it’s easy.</p>
<p>And feeds are showing up in places where there isn’t much room for the titles, so you have to make your characters count.</p>
<p>Bluesky shows the user’s address, imho it should be the string the user chooses, usually simply their name.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://imgs.scripting.com/2026/10/01/blueskyFeedTitlesAre.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>The arrow points to Mark Cuban’s feed from Bluesky.</p>
