@daringfireball I like the custom domain concept but prefer the email style model — doesn’t [email protected] seem more natural than jon.gruber.foo? It’s like they are more concerned with selling new domains than setting it up right.

@aaronbuckner @daringfireball I might be wrong here but you can’t verify name at sever exists without interaction from an outside system. Usually with a human clicking a link in an email. You can however verify name.server exist with a simple ping.

It's just at TXT record to map to the username -- maybe it's just my preference to see user@domain instead of user.domain.

Would definitely like to see some other Bluesky instances pop up so we know the username isn't really going to be like [email protected] though.
