Bluesky

I've been contemplating how to make your Farcaster ID a native Bluesky ID. Perhaps this channel could be ground zero for people interested in exploring these types of integrations?

I'm envisioning something bigger and bolder. Currently, the identity layer for Bluesky relies on W3C-based DIDs, specifically did:plc or did:web. What I’m proposing is the creation of a third option: did:fid.

This approach would allow every Faraaster ID to double as a Bluesky ID.

Why pursue this? For one, it would simplify cross-posting and ensure seamless authenticity of posts across both platforms. Additionally, it addresses a key criticism of Bluesky: the lack of censorship resistance in controlling identity keys.

Success would be achieved when the Bluesky team adopts this third DID type as part of their identity layer.

I've looked into it and it's a bit complicated, because BSky supports Secp256k1 and p256 while FC uses ed25119
