How to verify your domain on Nostr and Bluesky (for micro.blog users)
- gtirloni 3y agoWhat's interesting about this?
- klysm 3y agoTwitter go boom, bluesky announces namecheap integration, threads launches, etc. Its currently relevant for those interested in the next stable state after all this dust settles.
- bakugo 3y ago> Twitter go boom Seems fine to me. Is this like the last 10 times twitter went "boom"?
- pessimizer 3y agoIt's a small boom, where anonymous and free API access have been cut off. Although I'm pretty sure you can't access or scrape Threads and bluesky anonymously and/or without cost either.
- dkh 3y agoActually, one of the big points of contention right now over at bluesky is how easily anyone can easily anonymously scrape all its data. Behold, one of many available sites that broadcast the firehose: https://firesky.tv/ https://firesky.tv/ Currently the only thing that costs money at bluesky is using your own domain name but making them manage the DNS for this so you don't have to.
- 3np 3y agoHow is that a point of contention?
- FreeTrade 3y agoIs the tree of who invited who public info too?
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoThat’s literally a feature (the firehose).
- dkh 3y ago> Seems fine to me. What did you do, go to the homepage for 20 seconds to make that in-depth assessment on something very widely-reported for nine straight months now as an ever-engulfing dumpster fire? It is not fine, take your pick: questionable leadership, wanton firings, bad policies, abuse/harassment, technical problems, legal trouble, fleeing advertisers
- tredre3 3y agoAs a casual twitter user I've had no issues prior to last week. The throttling was the first thing that has impacted my experience since Musk took over. It seems like your own assessment of twitter comes from a very emotional place and not from personal experience using it.
- dkh 3y agoIt’s both, actually, so I’ll concede that. But I’m emotional about it because I’ve been a user for 16 years, it was the only social media I really used and got value out of, and that has completely changed for me as it has for countless others
- threeseed 3y agoOr that some of us aren't casual users who are ignorant/indifferent to what is happening.

- blitzar 3y agoThey glossed over the bit where you sit around waiting years for a bluesky invite because you are not cool enough.
- eropple 3y agoThere are plenty of invites going around. I've been on Bluesky for about a month now and have gotten half a dozen invites. The thing that is, however, making Bluesky a genuinely pleasant place to hang out, even despite its size (it's getting relatively large for pleasantness!) is that the invite code system requires that, even with that large number of invite codes, somebody wants to see your posts. It is a pretty strong high-pass filter; they're just scarce enough to value giving them to folks who are going to make for interesting reading.
- namegulf 3y agoAppreciate an invite if you have one, thx
- jhutch 3y ago[flagged]
- lepus 3y ago> Somebody wants to see your posts Unless you buy an invite code on eBay.
- itsmartapuntocm 3y agoI could’ve been selling codes this whole time?
- DANmode 3y agoUsually at risk a ban, buuuuut....
- Sheeshaa47 3y ago
- namegulf 3y agoUsing domain (something that you own and manage) as your username is awesome!
- izzydata 3y agoWill Bluesky have ads and sell your user data?
- threeseed 3y agoYes. They raised $8m in seed round which means they are on the VC track. And Twitter Blue has shown there isn't enough revenue from anything other than an ad-supported model to support a VC scale business.

- mvid 3y agoIf only. Twitter blue can’t be used as a significant experiment because Twitter turned the blue checkmark into a political symbol. It’s likely a great deal of people would pay if it wasn’t synonymous for support with a right wing man child.
