Initial temperature check for #Socialcoop members:
What would you think of enabling members to have [user].social.coop as their handles for Bluesky?
This would require no data storage or throughput from us, just a DNS record: https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial
Curious about TWG folks like @edsu @flancian @todrobbins
My own perspective is that I think this could be a low-hanging way for Social.coop to become cross-platform and to explore what it means to have a cooperative presence on ATProto/Bluesky. It would also advertise our collective existence there.
Personally, not sure I'd use it, as I already use my personal domain (@ntnsndr.in) on Bluesky.
@ntnsndr @flancian @todrobbins I guess I'm a bit concened about the logistics of managing this for potentially 100s of @SocialCoop users, and knowing when they could be retired. Assuming that could be smoothed over I would be fine, I guess.
@edsu @flancian @todrobbins @SocialCoop fair concerns. From the Bluesky documentation, it seems like there may be a fairly automated way of managing these, but it's not totally clear.
