Secured the perfect domain… but every social handle is taken by inactive accounts 🤦‍♂️

Finally found a brand name and domain I love.

But now every social handle I need is taken, even variations with .com, most often by inactive accounts with 1–2 followers and zero posts.

It’s frustrating how this can block brand consistency before even building your product.

Has anyone here actually managed to take over an inactive handle?


Did support help, or did you have to negotiate directly?

Would love to hear what worked for you.

Yea, I tried a few times to take over an inactive handle but support just never replies. I usually endup marking variations like adding "try" or "join" or "social" to the name. I don't think it matters all that much

I agree. Also, on many social networks your handle can be different from the account name. So you may see a post by "Dinosaurvillage" but the profile url/account name is socialmedia.com/dinosaurvillages2
