A Bluesky starter pack can include a lookalike account. Open the profile and check its full handle and published links before following or recommending it.

Check the handle and starter-pack entry

  1. Compare the full handle, including a domain-based handle if present, with the creator’s own public links.
  2. Review older posts and outbound links for the person or project being claimed.
  3. Check the starter-pack entry itself; inclusion is not a substitute for a link from the creator.
  4. Look for copied bios paired with misspelled domains or different contacts.
  5. Confirm unexpected DMs or payment offers through an established account.

What to include in a report

  • Profile URL and the starter-pack entry or conversation URL.
  • Screenshots of copied branding and conflicting destinations.
  • Official account references and dated outreach messages.

Build an impersonation report with the relevant URLs and screenshots.
