  • Spaces?

    As someone reading this from the periphery (and not really even as I have been in the ecosystem, building etc), my first thought was this was some kind of live audio conversation thing ala Twitter Spaces. But nope. I know I know, you want to do your own thing, define your own naming, but alot of people still view things as far as Bluesky's relation to Twitter, in the consumer lens. You'll get there as far as independent separation but it's not there yet (similarly, Bluesky & atproto's connection/independence).

    And this isn't even a consumer thing in this respect, but a dev/protocol thing.... couldn't have gone with something like Zones... Permissioned Zones?

  • So is this now just, like, a server?

  • It seems like at every turn the word private is avoided and replaced with "non-public".

    I understand that the system probably is sound, the data just isn't encrypted, which I wouldn't necessarily expect. Maybe it's completely clear for users familiar with AtProto, but for others it needs to be clearer on some things:

    - Where exactly is the data is stored

    - Who is the "space authority" and why should they be trusted

    - Strategies where you can manually encrypt/decrypt the data put in spaces

    And avoid sketchy sounding terms like "non-public".

  • Let's go, tangled.sh is about to have private repos

  • It's kind of shocking that nowhere in the discussions we see references to the IDSA (https://internationaldataspaces.org/). Most of ATproto seems to be based on data space concepts with a strange level of "we don't like RDF" layer applied on top.

    I hope the growing mess of lexicons would eventually trigger them to self correct and look more into reusing (and encouraging) existing ontologies (schema.org or any number of others).

  • > It’s important to remember that spaces give you access control not confidentiality. The data in a space is readable by any user or application with access to that space, it’s not encrypted.
