#### XRUK on Bluesky
Bluesky is a fast-growing social media platform. It is providing an additional (or alternative) space for those becoming disillusioned with X/Twitter - for a multitude of reasons.
Find us here:
- XRUK Bluesky account
- XRUK collated 'starter pack' of other XR groups in the UK
If are setting up an account for a local group, campaign or community group - give us a like and a share so we can find you and add you to our 'starter pack' list.
#### How to verify your account
If your XR group has a website, you can use it as your handle, for example: https://bsky.app/profile/**extinctionrebellion.uk** or https://bsky.app/profile/**xrmidlands.uk**

This is the equivalent of getting verified (like the blue tick on Twitter/X), and it's free.
Follow [this tutorial](https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial) to do it.
