Support apex domain user names through DNS records
Feature: The ability to create an account that has an apex domain as the name. This is verified through a DNS record for that domain.
Example of this: Bluesky lets any user set their account name using a verified domain by setting a value in the DNS record, this is what gave me this idea for Twitch.
Why would this work? Usernames currently do not allow periods/dots/full stops, meaning any domain based name would automatically and perpetually be available until someone claims the domain.
Why is this beneficial? It would let brands or anyone at all that owns an apex domain to have a guaranteed username for their content.
Personally I think this is a brilliant system, as it creates an actionable reference to the brand or company directly from the user name.
