Subdomain per protocol-level server? #711

@snarfed

Description

@snarfed

Right now, in federated protocols, server admins can block/defederate individual other servers. We don't currently expose individual servers across the bridge, though, so if eg a fediverse admin doesn't like one specific ATProto PDS and wants to defederate from it, they can't. Their only option is to block the bridge as a whole. It'd be nice to expose servers across the bridge so that admins can defederate them individually.

The difficulty is that this would make user ids even bigger and more unweildy. For example, Bluesky user alice.org currently gets the fediverse handle @[email protected]. With this, we'd need to make her handle something like @[email protected], where pds.net is her ATProto PDS (server). Ugh.
