@cypherpunks So, it is one domain per one account now? How to verify that? Also, it is ineffecient if that verification involves some DNS management or some rel=me like Mastodon does (and it is easy to remove both of that, how to handle that?).
So, it is one domain per one account now?
No, from their examples it appears that there can be many accounts under a single domain, using subdomains.
@cypherpunks Well, how about the verification? Is it DNS or rel=me or something like that? Who is gonna verify that?
it's DIDs in DNS. you can read more here: https://atproto.com/guides/identity
so, your DID (which includes a pubkey) is actually your identity, and you can change your handle without changing your DID.
It doesn't exactly say it on the page i linked, but iiuc their plan is also that while today handles are all names ending with ICANN TLDs in the future they could also be under alternative TLDs defined by ✨blockchains✨.
So how would a non-tech person acquire such a handle??
for one thing, a lot of "non-tech" people do manage to buy their own domain names somehow.
but, also: domains-as-handles doesn't actually mean everyone needs to get their own domain. For instance, if/when feddit.de adopts ATP, you can be @sexy-peach.feddit.de on bluesky (and everywhere else that uses ATP).
