Permissioned Data Shapes: Feeds

Public feed generators drink from a firehose that permissioned data never enters, so a feed that includes space content has to become a syncer, keep a live model of who can see what, and serve a different skeleton to every viewer.

Permissioned Data Shapes: Polls

A poll is a space, a ballot is an address, and read_self is the ballot screen: voters cast and change their own votes while no voter's client can read anyone else's.

Permissioned Data Shapes: Forums

A forum with public categories, private categories, and one set of record shapes across both: members own their posts, the forum owns the submission wrappers that admit them into categories, and moderators deactivate into tombstones instead of deleting.

Permissioned Data Shapes: Community-Moderated Content

A community can own spaces the way a person does: a club's members post to each other under a dedicated community DID, with a feed space for content, a moderation space for notes, a labels space for filtering, and a single app view as the only window into any of it.

A self-only space is the smallest shape permissioned data can take: one authority, one member, one repo, and private bookmarks that share a record shape and a write path with public ones.

Signaling AI Preferences on ATProto

Atproto users need a way to express granular AI preferences and carve out exceptions for specific entities or content types. This post introduces community.lexicon.preference.ai, a lexicon schema that decomposes AI usage into distinct categories and adds a scoped override mechanism built on top of Bluesky's User Intents proposal.

Payments on Protocol

atprotofans.com was a proof of concept for payments on ATProtocol built at Graze Social. This post is about what we built, why proof of payment on protocol matters, and what it makes possible.

Graze Social and the IETF

Graze Social sponsored my first in-person IETF meeting in Montreal last November. This post is about what it was like to be there and why standards participation matters for small companies.

If This Then AT: Automation on Protocol
