Loqi [preview] [Emma (IPG) :apartyblobcat:] so on #Bluesky, rather than going with the well-documented and defined webfinger protocol, behind the .well-known directory, decided to make their own shit for verifying domains via HTTP (to change your handle to the website, proving your ownership o... https://media.wetdry.world/media_attachments/files/110/307/652/759/060/925/original/d8a4d3aad2039e60.png

shreyanjain[m] <aaronpk> "i'm confused because I couldn'..." <- it's in the docs: https://atproto.com/guides/identity#example-hosting-service-wseparate-domain-name
#
aaronpk wat
#
aaronpk that doens't say anything about that as far as i can tell
#
[snarfed] shreyanjain, aaronpk is talking about registering DNS domain usernames with the current Bluesky app, not the future did:web support
#
shreyanjain[m] yeah the xrpc/com.atproto.identity.resolveHandle json? thats what i meant
#
shreyanjain[m] this might be getting a little #indieweb-dev:libera.chat though
#
[snarfed] ah ok
#
aaronpk but also the docs i am talking about are end user docs
#
