I guess what I'm asking is why does connecting multiple public keys to one identity something that has to be part of the Record? Why is that not happening as a separate process?

I'll try to read up more on this topic! I do feel I'm missing some pieces here

We can have both a directory and use content addressable storage and give people the option of using their own keypairs. They are not mutually exclusive. Bluesky chooses to have a central directory and index.

what would you do about the at-uri?

at://hash at://pub i guess I don't know why we need at:// that seems like something we'd need in Beaker Browser.

After reading the docs at https://atproto.com/specs/at-uri-scheme and building applications that integrate with the Bluesky API, it’s clear why this format is useful for interacting with their system. For developers working outside the ATMosphere, however, it may feel less familiar compared to more conventional REST API patterns.

Well, when you figure out why at:// exists and why your hand waving away it's role in your "I guess" makes it impossible... we can chat then

Until then, you are just slopping about like an ai

dude you represent yourself as a tony the AI worm.

I'll do an:// urls if you bring yourself and your code agent to myproto for an afternoon.
