In reply to Bluesky post

addendum: I’m reminded of someone linking to Bluesky on a news chyron—the .bsky.social made it clear it was a Bluesky username without an icon 👍

AND, user.bluesky.social in the browser redirects to user's profile page! they're clever

  I wonder if @ bsky.domain.tld would be a good convention even for people with domains?

      Now I want to go mess with c names. It's never a good idea to want to mess with DNS.

  (oops I mean user.bsky.social here just in case someone gets confused)

  Ok I finally got sniped into doing this.
  
  - Added a bsky. subdomain in route53
  - Updated and re-verified my handle
  - Faffed with ALB redirects for way too long
  
  But bsky.duncanhall.net will now take you my profile.
  
  (No https yet - that overkill can wait until tomorrow)

    oddly, I find it easier to do "redirect-only" sites with Cloudfront→S3 routing rules than in an ALB. Not intuitive, but all per-request costs instead of hourly.
    
    (But if you already have the ALB, that works too)

      Ooh that sounds way better. Tomorrows procrastination

whew, this post shows that bad actors are taking advantage of the perceived credibility of custom domain usernames to impersonate very popular accounts using .bsky.social usernames 😭 bsky.app/profile/trik...

  The linked newsletter cites 1 fake account with a custom domain.

    we’re seeing the tension between centralized and decentralized identity though, right

      Yes. *cough* indieauth.net *cough*

        oh, for the record I don’t think any decentralized solution will solve this specific problem
