NEW POST: From Personal Data Server to Personal Metadata Server. If creators already use their #atproto identity to publish signed records of their posts, why shouldn't they use that same identity to publish declaration metadata describing their digital works?

Liccium@liccium.com · last wk.

What if a PDS became more than a repository for posts? We propose using AT Protocol as a creator-controlled publication layer for declaration metadata describing digital works, making rights, provenance, and other trusted metadata independently verifiable and easier to discover.

Whereas AT Protocol is decentralized in practice because your data is stored on your PDS, and you can always move your data, even without the PDS's cooperation, because the data is all signed by an identity that the PDS does not control or at least, can have alternative control.
