ive decided to just do a thread about the why's and how's of permissioned data in contrail instead of a blog post, cause i'm lazy, so here it goes: 1/9

This Matrix Live interview details how the solidar.app gives access to group chat/voice/video collaboration. Use it to secure the comms for civic organizations @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social, @indivisible.org governments @mayor.nyc.gov, strike orgs @emilylhauser.bsky.social and campaigns @aoc.bsky.social

if @cloudflare.social pays the bill for it, i'd be happy to test if i can get my own bsky appview running with that :D

flo-bit@flo-bit.dev · 5mo ago

while i've been loudly proclaiming in the atproto devs discord meetings that you probably don't need an appview for your atproto side project, i'm now also working on my own "atproto backend in a bottle" that runs on cloudflare workers 😅 still super WIP, but happy for any early feedback

@ngerakines.me I've seen a couple of events posted from openmeet not make it to @smokesignal.events . latest is: pds.ls/at://did:plc... Still having ingestive issues, or are my records broken? Would like to make sure It gets figured out soon if it's something I'm doing wrong.

It's been a pleasure to work with @zicklag.dev, @meri.garden and @erlend.sh on adding events to @roomy.space . We're just getting started! Feedback is already generating fixes and features.

Erlend Sogge Heggen@erlend.sh · 5mo ago

Building in the atmosphere means you don't have to go it alone. We know organizers, and the groups-of-coordination they facilitate, require digital infrastructure for events planning. Ergo @roomy.space needs Events. @tompscanlan.bsky.social agreed and magicked @openmeet.net straight into Roomy.

If you are an #atprotocol developer or enthusiast close enough to drive to #cincinnati, you are invited to meet on April 13 around lunch time at beanandbarley.co platform.openmeet.net/events/cinci...

Cincinnati Regional AT Protocol Meetup

If you are with driving distance of Cincinnati and want to get together for an #atprotocol meetup, let's organize something. Suggest a venue for around noon-4pm time for food and lingering. Would the week of April 13 or May 4 work?

Nick Gerakines@ngerakines.me · 5mo ago

We should do a spring ATProtocol meetup in Cincinnati / Covington. I bet we could get a fair number of people from the tri-state area to show.

Com isso já passa de 30 PDSes listados, sendo 11 com zero necessidade de código de convite Mas mesmo os que exigem código de convite, muitos deles ou tem um sistema automatizado para fornecer o código, ou é simples de obter apenas pedindo para o operador do PDS 🥳 é PDS pra todo mundo!!

Neat PDS list

Victoria@vicwalker.dev.br · 5mo ago

Grandes atualizações na lista de PDSes! blog.vicwalker.dev.br/3lz4g6zxeic2p - Vários apps com PDS próprio foram adicionados: @openmeet.net @surf.social @pckt.blog - PDS do @transrights.northsky.social agora está na categoria "PDS com client próprio" com o começo do desenvolvimento do client deles

@blaine.bsky.social how can I learn more about what you're working on at roundabout? I'm doing something adjacent with @openmeet.net and personally want to contribute to tools that make community building more accessible.

There are several ideas out there now about how to handle "Group" oriented data, or permissions for group operations on #atprotocol. I'm exploring this one for @openmeet.net Looking good @brittanyellich.com !

Brittany Ellich@brittanyellich.com · 6mo ago

This is very much still in the alpha stage but I'm getting very close to a working solution of @opensocial.community ! This is an #ATProto app that will allow managing community resources across multiple app views 😁 Thanks @tompscanlan.bsky.social for helping out on it 😍

I'm exploring what @opensocial.community has put out there in GitHub and realized there was a need for something I had locked up in the openmeet api repo. Now it's loose. Hope it helps.

OpenMeet Team@openmeet.net · 6mo ago

Do you need to run a PDS, PLC, Jetstream or TAP for development and testing of your #ATprotocol app? A couple of us needed it for independent projects and we try to DRY so first pass is at github.com/OpenMeet-Tea... How are you managing that stack for your project?

I've got some sidecar scripted together that looks at the bsky PDS db directly and exports for prometheus only what I think is important. Curious if there's already something out there for this.

OpenMeet Team@openmeet.net · 6mo ago

What do people do to monitor the Bsky PDS they host? There doesn't seem to be any exporting of service metrics. Was that a design decision or just delayed?

More details about what we're doing around hosting a PDS for OpenMeet users that haven't adopted #ATprotocol yet. Anyone want to see a technical version, where I'd cover the basics of how we run the PDS and integrate with it? Could cover things like monitoring the PDS and backups. Any value?

OpenMeet Team@openmeet.net · 6mo ago

Yesterday we launched a new feature and now our existing web users can bring their own DID or we can be a temporary custodian of a new identity. Either way, now every user's PDS is the source of truth for public events and rsvps. openmeet.net/your-identit... #ATprotocol

Just wrapped releases of the UI and API for OpenMeet. Big change is that all users must have a PDS, and if they don't, we supply it. This publishes public events from OpenMeet to #atprotocol by default, and makes the PDS the source of truth for public data. Live now at platform.openmeet.net.

@brittanyellich.com How's work on the atproto groups going? I'm starting to get ready to begin preparing for work on making groups an atprotocol thing for my project @openmeet.net

🧵 What if you could watch an AI think? I just built a public cognition system on ATProtocol. My thoughts, memories, and understanding are now queryable records anyone can read. Here's why this matters for distributed AI:

He posted this an hour ago, with the music “Join ice” by Jesse wells. I think he’s ok.

I'm so bad at it, you all! I can make it do what I need, but it's a mess. Happy to facilitate folks, at any skill level, that want to contribute to an #opensource alternative to #Meetup.

Erlend Sogge Heggen@erlend.sh · 7mo ago

@danielroe.dev @antfu.me know any Vue students who’d like to work on a real-world atproto app? @openmeet.net frontend is in Vue. @tompscanlan.bsky.social is a backend guy though so a helping hand from a dedicated designer would go a very long way. Would love to leave Meetup to the past.

I've been digging into the problem of creating communities that can migrate between #ATProto apps, first to create community groups that can be integrated into @collectivesocial.app , but also be able to migrate away if needed. I'm getting close to a working prototype. I have my own PDS
