odd that their username is
@icegov.bsky.socialinstead of@ice.gov... i guess nobody on their social media team knows how to configure a DNS record or create a.well-knowntextfile.You clearly never worked .gov and understand the process to get a.gov ATO'ed much less a txt record done correctly.
Has anyone been able to get bluesky to work on something other than their server?
I seem to remember a mention of something like "blacksky" being a small instance that's technically on a different server or...however bluesky actually works. It was mentioned briefly in an article titled something to the effect of "The Myth of a Protocol" where they were going over all the ways the bluesky isn't actually a federated social media form in practice, even if it could technically be described as one.
I don't know what the back end looks like, but I see accounts hosted from unique servers fairly frequently. My favorite is @yeag.gay
That's probably not a different server. The ATproto allows users to use their website's URL as their handle by essentially adding a text file on their website, but their account is still hosted on the Bluesky servers.
