:)) I cannot believe this that there are already other PDS's running. I thought that part is incomplete and we're not able to use it. Silly me. Yea I'll appreciate an invite to implement the custom PDS feature.

Yeah for sure. There’s no DMs here so what’s the best place for me to send an invite @arta.bsky.social ?

To be fair, if there’s one thing that would be truly improved by a blockchain system it would be DNS. So it’s not prima facie evident that such an effort is in bad faith.

Its a genuine exploration of self sovereign identity for us. The Handshake community has been experimenting with an open root namespace, backwards compatible with DNS, for several years now. For context, I’m an active HNS contribute and also run theshake.xyz, a Handshake news and data service.

Handshake is backwards compatible with DNS and we wanted to run a server as an experiment for the HNS community. We didn’t intend for it to get this much attention. Invites are to Stems are now closed.

Yup just a PDS. On DNS, normally no, but we’ve extra config to resolve Handshake domains.

Do it! I run one but there should be more.

What provider did you have to shorten the TXT record for, out of curiousity?
April 21, 2023 at 1:22 PM
Odd if it’s the same name provider…

In some cases the provider appends the domain name in the background so you have to put _atproto instead of _atproto.alice.com
