btw, these new domain endings should be of much greater interest to the @bsky.app (atproto) community than your average internet jane/joe because of the incoming flood of expressive @handle.tld options

ICANN's gTLD application window closed last night and bigger-than-2012 (last round) stuff is already happening lfg.link applied for 316, more than anyone in 2012 (it'll cost $71 million in application fees alone!) some interesting strings in there...going to thread until I run out of steam

A discussion I had with @pfrazee.com @bnewbold.net and @dholms.at at the conference that I wanted to dig as a community is a TLD for atproto handles. Lots of challenges, but I think I'm looking forward to a world where I'm @goto (syntactic sugar for goto.handle) on the web rather than @sgo.to

github.comThe reason I've become such a @standard.site stan is because it's forming into the first real multi-service parallel ecosystem on atproto that can survive on it's own without the need of the @bsky.app lexicons and infra
happy Monday, I wrote up my decision-making around our new endpoints.bsky.app HTTP reference! Thanks everyone for the push to do this 😊
About the new endpoints.bsky.app
alex-bsky.leaflet.pubWorking with @standard.site more, I'm getting a better understanding of it's intentions and uses. An interesting thought: If you define your site's structure and content on your PDS, you can actually change the web addresses, including domains, of the content.
@iheartnoise.bandcamp.com how did you set your bluesky handle to match your bandcamp domain? To my understanding, bandcamp manages dns on this end. Did not know you could adapt it for bsky
@tynanpurdy.com asked for this feature and I like it: every atproto app should support AT-URIs as top level routes, @pds.ls-style. Makes it super easy to integrate. So this would be an argument for e.g.: `https://bsky.app/at://did:plc:rbvrr34edl5ddpuwcubjiost/app.bsky.feed.post/3micfxauzu22c`

github.com+1 to this. having tld in our handles is silly and counter-intuitive I am notplants.bsky.social still simply because i dont want to be myname.com unless im doing it as a bit. a tld in your handle lowkey feels like being named after a billboard

In 2026, @bsky.app is focused on what’s next for open social: bringing together users for conversations around live events, creator and platform monetization, and private state, giving users truly private data while preserving ownership and portability at the protocol level.
Bluesky is scared to commit to making a universal app that works with any atproto lexicon. I am not. And am pretty committed to our social-app fork being able to work with more and more content types (short video, fintech, blogs, music, etc.) Acorn customers get this for their communities too.

Also, will any platforms using acorn have access to these integrations as well?

github.comYep. This is what is missing in the ATProto vision. The lexicons should've been a like schema.org instead of domain name-based. Everyone who wants to improve it can discuss it, similar to, well, schema.org. The frontend must be separate from the content. It's beneficial in many ways.

we have standard.site but wen standard.pics? rn I’m juggling between @grain.social, @flashes.blue & @sprk.so for image sharing 😭
